Murchison sits on the Four River Plain - the meeting point for the Mangles, Matiri, Matakitaki and Buller Rivers. Together, they form the largest free-flowing catchment of water in New Zealand.
You'll find the best whitewater rafting, whitewater kayaking, and jetboating all year round in Murchison. Jetboating the Buller River at 85 km/hour is an exhilarating 40 minutes of pure thrill and high-speed action with sharp turns, V8-powered spins, and rapids.
