It has been seven weeks since the last commercial rafting trip on the river, with a major slip on the banks of the Shotover causing serious concern for the safety of river users and those walking the Moonlight Track.
Commercial operators voluntarily ceased operations and the council closed the river until the slip "failed".
The Moonlight Track was also closed because of its close proximity to the slip.
After a week of water-jacking the slip, it finally failed on Friday morning when 30,000 tonnes of schist rock fell, much of it crumbling before hitting the river.
The rocks that did hit the river have not affected its flow.
On Monday, a representative from engineering firm Tonkin and Taylor visited the site and prepared a report, which was passed to the council and Queenstown Rafting yesterday.
Queenstown Rafting director Vance Boyd said the report was favourable and it was expected commercial rafting trips would resume tomorrow.
The slip would be monitored by rafting crews before passing the area for an initial two-week period and that process would be reviewed again in a fortnight.
"It has been seven weeks today since operations ceased and we are really looking forward to getting out on the river again," Mr Boyd said.
