What on offer in Coffs Harbour NSW

Wildwater Adventures invites you to join us on a 
unique river adventure. Experience the thrills of rafting amongst lush rainforests, spectacular gorges and 
deep tranquil pools; awesome contrasts of power and peace on Australia's premier whitewater rivers.

Wildwater Adventures has been operating 
whitewater rafting on the Nymboida River since 1980 
(and 1986 on the Gwydir River). That's why our experienced guides know every bend and twist in 
these rivers like the back of their hand.

We only use equipment designed specifically for whitewater rafting conditions and our detail for safety
stands second to none if not the best in Australia.

Whilst being able to swim is advisable, you need not 
be a strong swimmer as everyone is required to wear 
an approved buoyancy or life vest at all times whilst 
on the river.

We run the river from below Copeton Dam to Horse Stealers Creek, a river distance of 16km, over 2 days. The river scenery is dominated by imposing granite boulders, cliffs and river sculptured pools. The rapids are long and powerful, spaced by deep pools and cascading waterfalls. 

Our camp is on a clean sandy beach surrounded by dry eucalypt bush. Minimum age is 16 and you need to be a good swimmer to raft the Gwydir River.
