Waitaki Valley RealSwim Adventure

Based in the village of Otematata, North Otago, surrounded by rugged peaks and stunning scenic views we will explore areas of two of the hydro lakes; Benmore and Aviemore. Lake Benmore is NZ’s largest manmade lake and the dam is the largest earth dam in New Zealand. This unique swim adventure has many highlights including swimming a flooded canyon, and exploring multiple locations on two different lakes. 

Join us for what will be memorable weekend in the south!

Accommodation is not included in the trip price. We can help organise accommodation if you need. There are numerous options which include bachs, the Valley Lodge, units at the Otematata Pub or pitching your tent at the Camping Ground. The trip is structured this way so you can choose an option that suits your budget, and if you’d like to share with others or go solo.

All swims are tow float compulsory.

Lake Temperature: this will be dependent on the summer weather leading into the weekend, but will likely be mid-late teens.
