About Raglan Rock
Raglan Rock is Raglan's dedicated adventure guiding company, operating since 2012 with some of the most highly qualified outdoor guides in New Zealand. Based near Wainui Road on the coast side of town, it specialises in the vertical and underground playground of the surrounding limestone country and rugged Karioi coastline.
The company offers a broad menu of guided experiences including rock climbing across dramatic "Middle Earth" landscapes, glowworm caving through ancient limestone formations, canyoning down lava-carved gorges, and abseiling — sometimes down waterfalls under the night sky. Family-friendly options such as archery-teering, boulder-teering, tree climbing and orienteering round out the range, and they also run a bike-hire service in partnership with local trails, so groups of every age and ability can find an adventure to match.
With more than a decade of guiding, a strong safety focus and genuinely knowledgeable instructors, Raglan Rock has built a reputation as the region's go-to for adrenaline between the beach and a hard place. Trips are designed to showcase the natural beauty of Whaingaroa, making it a standout choice for visitors wanting a land-based adventure alongside Raglan's surf.
