Huon and Picton River Rafting Tour

Aardvark has a long standing association with corporate Australia in team building and educational activities, offering a range of activities geared to enhance bottom line outcomes, promote and inspire. Detailed team building activities building on self management skills and interactive experimental learning are proven ways of creating a dynamic team, at middle management or in other areas of the workforce. Programs are based around a number of inter related outdoor & indoor activities. The outdoor activities challenge the individuals, encourage personnel and team interdependence and create opportunities for sharing adventure in a learning environment. The indoor program takes advantage of the opportunities that arise in the outdoors and further explores communication issues, the nature of leadership, team support and team building within the context of the business imperatives. Director Phil Harris is a fully qualified rafter, skier, canoeist, caver and top rope climber with international experience in guiding and instructing. With 20 years experience in the adventure industry, from setting up the abseil from the Silos at Salamanca Place, Hobart to more adventurous abseiling-Gordon Dam, the world’s highest commercial abseil, to white water rafting, caving and adventure learning Phil can design a program to suit your organisation objectives.

The First Drop, Wentworth Street, Berlin Wall and The Washing Machine will have your heart racing as you race down the whitewater rapids of the Mersey River. No experience is necessary to have a blast. The rapids are graded 2-3, the river is quite swift so there is little paddling, and an experienced rafting guide accompanies groups of six. Long john wetsuits, a safety and rafting briefing, and even buckets for water fights are included.
