Serious Fun Riverboarding operates in Queenstown, Otago, offering guided riverboarding and snow transfer experiences that combine adrenaline and convenience. The business specialises in riverboarding, river surfing, sledging, drifting, and a range of snow shuttle services to Coronet Peak and other Queenstown ski areas. Guides are trained in river safety and white-water techniques, and all trips include high-quality riverboards, wetsuits, helmets, and comprehensive safety briefings to ensure a controlled, enjoyable experience.
Water-based activities run on the Kawarau River and include river surfing and sledging on grade 2–3 rapids, guided riverboarding sessions, and relaxed drifting trips that focus on scenic floating and river history. Land-based services include private shuttles, a Coronet Peak Mixed Group Shuttle capped at 13 guests, and private snow sightseeing tours that can include photography and optional gondola rides.
Safety and guest experience are central: pre-trip briefings, appropriate safety equipment, and experienced guide-to-guest ratios are provided for each activity. The company arranges door-to-door shuttle pick-ups and gear handling for winter guests and accommodates families, groups, and solo travellers. Located in Queenstown, Serious Fun Riverboarding operates seasonally with water and snow offerings, combining local knowledge with well-managed outdoor adventures.
