NZRA Rescue Workshop

The World famous NZRA Rescue workshop is hands on down and wet opportunity for guides to practise the techniques of river rescue. Learning the basics is over and its time to put it into practise.

Attending the NZRA Rescue Workshops does not make anyone a qualified raft guide. There are opportunities to be assessed on parts of the qualification.

Rescuing People

This workshop is run by the New Zealand Rivers Association. Everyone who is on a rescue course or workshop is automatically a member for the coming year.

The NZRA is a non profit organisation made up of guides operators and other interested parties. The association was founded in 1996 to promote the sport of white water rafting to New Zealand and the world through collective representation.

The N.Z.R.A has been instrumental in the development of a recognised qualification for the white water rafting industry in New Zealand. This code of conduct has been adopted by the New Zealand government and implemented as Rule Part 80 of the Maritime Transport Act 1994 and has since been rewritten as Rule Part 81. As a result of this New Zealand can now boast the very highest in world industry standards. 

The Association is dedicated to all aspects of preservation, and conservation of New Zealand rivers. By working closely with community groups, such as The Department of Conservation (D.O.C) local Iwi, the Association will be at the forefront of the issues of public access and conservation for future future generations.

The NZRA needs your support so please,  stay a member of the group that works to represent you and your river.
