Rai or Pelorus River for beginners

These beautiful rivers are suitable for people who have done a beginner course or some paddling on grade 2 before. Which river we paddle depends on flows. For the Rai River, we put in below Rai Falls and take out at Totara Flat picnic area below the Pelorus confluence. It is optional to paddle over the 1.5m high falls (most people do). There is a fun shingle slide into the river at one point. If we paddle the Pelorus, we put in at Tinline Creek about 13km upstream of Pelorus Bridge, and take out at Totara Flat picnic area. Meet at the club gear containers on Akersten St (map on website) at 9am. We usually get back in Nelson at about 6pm.
