Coming from a small island in the South Pacific known to most as New Zealand, Hayley is part river rat, part flightless bird, 100% fueled by stoke and snacks. With over 7 years of rafting under her belt, she’s guided on 6 different rivers across New Zealand and Canada—most of that time on the Kaituna River, home to the world’s highest commercially rafted waterfall at 20ft. When she’s not in a raft or kayak, you’ll find her sewing something funky, wandering through the bush, or surrounded by the kind of vibrant people only rivers seem to attract.
