Kia Ora Tys! Thank you for your amazing 5 star review! Nga mihi, Kaitiaki Adventures

Adrenaline inducing surprises

This is a very well organised high adrenaline experience. Caruzo and others ensured the experience was safe and extremely fun. Apart from the mega grade 5 drop, there were a number of other surprises in this, which made it an extremely memorable experience, despite having done rafting a number of times in other places around the world. Definitely worth including this in any 'adventure focused' NZ itinerary.

Super-fun activity

Great experience, enjoyed more than expected. Big bonus - pick-up service from Rotorua. Don`t miss-out - I went solo and still had lot of fun with random people in raft!

Rotorua MUST do!

The rafting was 100% the highlight of our trip! The guides were all great and the woman at the front desk was awesome. It was just a shame the female photographer appeared to be in a bad mood and $40 felt steep for the 5-6 photos of me and my partner. However, overall we would recommend to anybody going to Rotorua!
