    Blackwater Rafting

    February 22, 2025 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F

    Our Blackwater Rafting experience is best experienced by this youtube video

    Or you can view our pictures :)

    TravelerIn the ‘70’s we went to NZ as a family and went in the glowworm caves. No rafting though, I was 9 and my sister was 4😆😆😆
