Outstanding experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Our first time ever white-water rafting and we loved it. Only a little bit scary and a little bit challenging for newbies like us. Excellent instruction and good humour from all the staff involved. Absolutely brilliant including the seven metre drop over the waterfall and the opportunity, twice, to get in the water. And truly beautiful surroundings. We'd it again tomorrow. Highly recommended.

Thrilling experience

Published on Feb, 2025

This was an amazing activity in which me and my friend did, we had never been rafting before however you did not need any practice and as long as you listen to your instructor you will have an incredible time. Our instructor Jack went above and beyond expectations and we had a brilliant time with him. A must do when in rotorua

What an exhilarating experience! Glad we did this with the Kaituna mob & Capt. Malcolm steered us through some wild water & stunning rainforest with ease & assured my nervous fiance she'd be fine. Well done & thanks again everyone. The pics were fantastic too. We'll see you again. Woohoooo! Andrew & Tash. 13Feb'25

A must do in Rotorua!

Published on Feb, 2025

Amazing experience! So much fun with all the crew and other rafters. Rafting down 3 waterfalls including the 7m was the most fun I’ve had all year! Thank you to everyone involved and especially Himmy and Jackie for a fun trip with courtesy shuttle to/from our hotel
