The Mohaka River runs from source to sea, meaning it flows uninterrupted by dams from the Kaweka Range to Hawke's Bay.
Would you trust this guide?
Me neither.
For our first stop we went into a cave that was forged by miners searching for precious minerals (copper?). We walked single file into the cave, which went maybe 35 ft deep, then we turned around and walked out. It made me claustrophobic. Undisputed highlight of the trip.
Back to rafting.
Many moons ago the river carved spectacular gorges through the landscape. The obvious result being great cliff jumping territory. Seashells can be seen in some of the rock, a reminder that it was once part of the ocean floor.
Move it or lose it, oompla loompas.
