ABOUT NZRA

Who We Are

The NZRA has been instrumental in the development of the professional river industry and the key ingredient enabling industry a voice with regulatory services. NZRA has developed a world-leading qualification for the white water rafting industry in New Zealand.

​

NZRA has developed industry standards which are adopted by the New Zealand government through Maritime NZ and more recently the transition to the Adventure Activity Regulation.

 

As a result of this New Zealand can now boast the very highest in world industry standards.
