Hi everyone.
On Monday 29th May “Hidden Valleys” was signed over to Dylan Card …a really nice moment for us all, My Partner Michelle was present as well as Dylan’s Partner Nai and their wee fella, Oliver.
Dylan has been very involved in the running of Hidden Valleys trips over the last couple of years and it has been a pleasure working alongside him. Michelle has been huge support to me and a huge help in making the Hidden Valleys trips happen.

Hidden Valleys and the wider rafting industry has been my life since the early 90’s. I formed Hidden Valleys in the year 2000 with a passion to explore and introduce people to New Zealand’s amazing and remote rivers. Offering many multi-day and day trips - often flying in to put-in points. In the last few years combining Hiking into rivers over mountain passes and rafting out. These have been really rewarding and popular.
I have worked with some awesome people over the time both here in NZ and all around the world.
It has been an awesome environment to raise my 2 children introducing them to the outdoors at an early age and giving them life long memories.
Many of our Hidden Valleys Guests have become close and valued friends.
Thanks to you all.

I may well be on the odd trip in the future ..we’ll see.
I wish Dylan, Nai and young Oliver all the best with Hidden Valleys going forward.
Thanks to all the past and present Hidden Valleys guides.

This is is a four night, five day expedition that embraces a genuine feel for the rough untouched country between Hanmer Springs and Kaikoura. The river is fun and spectacular. Rapids Grade 2-3.
