The guides were knowledgeable, ensuring our safety while also making the trip incredibly fun. The scenery was breathtaking, with lush greenery along the riverbanks. The rapids were thrilling yet manageable, perfect for both beginners and experienced rafters. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking an adrenaline-packed journey

This was a brilliant and exciting tour with some excellent guides. They knew the river inside out and were great fun to have on the boat!

Pick up and drop of from accommodation was no hassle. All gear is provided to keep you warm. The guides were knowledgeable, fun and most importantly you felt safe with them. The rapids were super fun with plenty of games thrown in, a chance to swim through rapids and going over 3 waterfalls was awesome! Adrenaline filled, once in a life time experience, would 100% recommend!

Zack was an awesome guide, and rafting through the lush river scenery was a must-do experience! We always felt safe, in control and most of all, had a thrilling time. Would recommend to anyone!

Had a great time. Guides were great. Safety was always top of mind but still made sure we had fun. Its a fairly short section of river with only a few good rapids so don't expect the same experience as a full day on the Zambizi River but still worth the money. The big waterfall drop is definitely exciting. I would recommend to anyone as a fun addition to your visit to Rotorua.

This is by far our favorite excursion we’ve done on our vacation! We enjoyed the simplicity of the safety rules and guidelines (AKA, just hold onto the boat and the rest doesn’t matter 🤪) They provide wetsuits, wet shoes, and fleece gear as well which was cool. The photo package at the end was for a great price for ~150 pics! It was also hilarious that our entire raft, including our guide, were all American! Our guide, Zach, was phenomenal! He was patient, educated us well, and had super fun banter and humor throughout the entire event. The waterfall is DEFINITELY worth the hype, by the way! Can’t recommend this enough!

Definitely a highlight of our NZ trip! Our guides were amazing and the river was beautiful (also really surprised at how warm the water was!). 100% would recommend

Great place and an amazing ride. Just 3 on raft was great. We stayed upright but 2 rafts with a different company provided real entertainment.

All. Very good. Very nice experience and very well Service , information all. The river and boat very safe. Many many natural

Best trip we did, Amy zach and Neville were brilliant! Great memory made, good value for money, well worth it

I'm still buzzing from the sheer excitement of this incredible adventure! Facing my fears and plunging into this thrilling experience was an absolute thrill ride! Despite the nerve-wracking safety talks, once we hit those rapids, it was an adrenaline rush like no other! And the scenery? Absolutely stunning! This adventure showcases the unparalleled beauty of our country in the most exhilarating way possible. And that heart-pounding finale with the massive waterfall? It was the perfect climax to an unforgettable journey! While I've shared this spot with friends before, experiencing it myself was an absolute game-changer! I felt totally safe in the hands of our guide, Dave. The photos of the experience were so amazing, wonderful memories of a great experience. Ngā mihi Wendy

Incredible experience, first time rafting and I immediately felt the love for it. Justin & Zeeta were THE BEST. From Justin's base and intro talks, to Zeeta's safety talk - we felt safe and informed from the jump. Couldn't have been in better hands, Justin's experience and leadership skills are second to none. The tidbits about the local landscape and nature had me feeling connected to the Kaituna. An experience I won't be forgetting. He even cut moments of tension and nervousness with his knee-slapping kiwi humour and work stories. Apologies, forgot name of the photographer, massive bravo to that guy for such professional capturing of our memories. Excited to return in future for more good times :D Mitch

My husband did this rafting trip solo while I did another excursion. He is an avid adventure seeker so was keen to do the Class 5 Kaituna River trip. He says from the beginning upon check-in the guides were awesome, very personable and knowledgeable about the local waters. The rafting trip itself was “excellent”…from the epic waterfalls to the fast rapids, he enjoyed himself thoroughly. The team has a photographer strategically placed to capture all the fun moments creating fantastic photos of the day. Solid experience all around.

I went with a couple mates and Justin took us down the Kaituna. We had such an amazing time, it was so much fun and Justin had some cool knowledge about the area which was awesome. Would definitely do again.

Awesome afternoon. Heart rate well worked out. The guys pointed out various birds & features along the way. Great staff, a mix of humour and assertiveness when required.

We took the whole family- five of us- and did level 5. I was apprehensive about the 7-meter fall, but the guides and instructors were very thorough about safety and what we needed to do, covering every possible scenario. I felt safe the entire time. The guides were great at encouraging my kids to participate but didn't force them. They were gracious when we didn't follow instructions properly- rowing in sync. The photos were amazing, too. The photographer took great photos, and her timing was brilliant. We all loved it!

The rapids were exciting but the big waterfall was the highlight. Don't be put off by the waterfall. We had all ages in our boat from 13 - 70. Recommended.

Our family including 2 young teenagers loved our rafting trip. A lot of attention paid to safety, with a guide inside the raft and an extremely capable kayaker accompanying us the whole way to make sure there were no problems. The river is absolutely stunning setting and such a fun "ride". I especially loved the chance to swim over one of the sets of rapids. Got to the end of the trip and wished we could go again straight away.

This was one of the most exciting parts of our 2 1/2 weeks “down under”. Nick and (sorry… we don’t remember the other guide’s name) were OUTSTANDING! Super cool, patient, and most importantly, PROFESSIONAL which made us feel very comfortable and ready to follow them down any water fall! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this adventure and these fine guides!!!

We were apprehensive to go on the class 5, 7 meter drop rafting trip but we are so glad we did! Our guide Cam gave clear instructions, added a bit of humor and gave us an exhilarating experience!
