Name:
Christian Chester
Position:
Lead Guide

Bio:

Nearly a decade spent as a kayaking and rafting guide in countries as wide ranging as Norway, Japan, Nepal, Australia and New Zealand has seen him appear amongst some of the world's wildest rivers as a star of several white water kayaking movies. He has regularly written of his travels for a New Zealand adventure magazine, his writing accompanied by a prowess for adventure-photography. This former life-saver is one of New Zealand's typical strong, compassionate & humble leaders. Christian possesses abundant energy and enthusiasm, along with a wicked sense of humor.
