Arahura Round Two

The weather decided to cooperate one day so we called up the friendly neighborhood helicopter pilot and booked ourselves a day on the Arahura. It was fun going back to the first fly in I did almost three months ago. The day could not have gone any better, we had a sweet group of four: two first timers to the run and Jonho and myself. Great lines, amazing weather, sweet river, and a little carnage to keep people on their toes made for a perfect day out.

The Arahura really is the Opal Creek of New Zealand. It is the standard by which other runs are compared to. It is mostly grade IV with a few rapids pushing higher, it is very pretty, and ends with some spicy pushing big water. In Conclusion the Arahura rocks!
