Awesome experience for the rafting. Lots lots of fun with the professional and funny guide team. Big smiles&happy times. Highly recommended
Awesome trip down the Kaituna. Felt safe the whole time. Great host Reece. Told us exactly what we needed to do. Will do it again ?
It's definitely a must try when visiting Rotorua. Kaituna Cascades ran everything very smooth and made sure we were safe and having fun. Thank you see you again
Thank you Kaituna Cascades for giving my whanau a funtastic, epic white water rafting experience.
Honestly one of the most exciting things I have ever done. So much fun. Elvis was a great guide and made the experience so good. At no point did I feel unsafe (a little nervous maybe though!). I would have no hesitation recommending this to anyone that was thinking about going. It was my first time going rafting and I now cannot wait to go again. Got some great photos as well. Seriously, just book it now!
One of my best experiences ever! All the staff where really nice, chilled out and funny! Would deffo recommend and will be coming back in the future. We had Malcolm as our guide who was great! Loved every minute also we flipped on the fall!!
Staff were super friendly & helpful Instructor was cool 😎 & calm…SAFE Super, safe and straight Fire experience
What a trip!!! Friendly, excellent service, 100% professionalism, excellent guides, great photography... A Perfect Day. Thank-you
Such a great experience! Guides were awesome. I made a mistake with my booking and they were more than happy to rebook us, with no hassles whatsoever. Highly recommend Kaituna Cascades to everyone wanting a safe and extremely fun adventure. Thanks very much!
Thank you book me and the amazing crew at Kaituna Cascades. Especially Pete who made it so much fun and safe. It was insane and exciting, I would highly recommend it. Having never done it before, I would happily do it again and again.
Absolutely fantastic! You need to try it.
Nice people, nice River!
Mean as trip! Instructors were hella supportive by calming nerves and offering precise instructions but best yet they were hella entertaining *SPOILERS* Kaituna river wise the views were astounding, opportunities to jump off the side, hold on and rip a few rapids outside the raft 007 style. If you flip, the boys keep it professional and keep you safe 100% Chur fellas! Hope to you again!
Words are few to express the joy, happiness and satisfaction of service from the team! The staff is friendly, excited and joyful. They motivate and bring energy. And, yes they capture your best moments while rafting I recommend to look at 'em and take home your pics. This was my 2nd time doing the rafting and the amount of joy I had was great both times. I would love to come back again! Keep it up team
We had an awesome time! Or guide Rob was perfect for us, knew when to have to fun but was also professional and reassuring! We loved the 7m waterfall, went upside down but felt safe the whole time. Photos were amazing too and for only $40! Don’t be put off by the waterfall it’s not that scary!
Everything about this was incredible! If you're considering doing this, book it. It's exhilarating, the staff are the best and you won't want to get out of the boat at the end!
Had a fabulous adrenaline-pumping fun-filled afternoon yesterday rafting on the Kaituna River with our teenage boys. This is a MUST DO, whether it is with family, friends, work colleagues or visitors. The crew are a great team, professional, safety conscious, and lots of fun.
The Kaituna Cascades Rafting Expedition was my first rafting experience and we all had a blast! Well organized, helpful intro, super friendly, fun instructors! Awesome guyssss!!!!We can definitely recommend it!! Yeah have fun n enjoy life
So cool!!! Thank you guys
Just the best experience! Felt very confident as far as safety awareness and education given and going down the falls was amazing. Would highly recommend this as a fun and exhilarating experience!
Teamed up with Peter who was super friendly and made sure we were 100% on what to to do on the water and how to stay safe. Would definitely love to experience again. Thank you everyone at Kaituna Cascades
What a great experience!!! I definitely recommend it. The staff was nice, the location is not far from the city center. Be prepared to get wet and have lot’s of fun.
We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend the experience
We had a lot of fun yesterday. The guide was superb, supportive and energetic. Even though we doing Rafting for the first time, he made it easier. Definitely gonna come back later. This is fun 🔥
Even though it has its adrenaline side, we felt safe 100% of the times. Peter was amazing, as well as the rest of the crew. We highly recommend it!! Definitely an amazing experience
An amazing experience. Our guide Elvis was great, making sure everyone felt safe, and had fun. Would highly recommend doing this!
It's my 3rd time with the Kaituna Cascades crew. Great experience would highly recommend
It was my first time rafting and I couldn't ask for a better experience; Tutea Falls, swimming, jumping from a rock in the end and very nice pictures (40NZD link in e-mail). The group was amazing and Baltazar was a very funny and great guide ^^ Can definitely recommend this tour!
It was fun and nice. brought a friend who doesn't know how to swim and she enjoyed it. She was nervous at the beginning but not after once we have gone through a few practice in the river. Oeion ( pronounced as owen ) was our guide of the day. He did the briefing in a very relax and funny way but having all the safety points and message highlighted to us. It was a smooth sailing for our ride, went through the small water fall and the big ones and played on the water for fun and pictures.
Definitely need to be there to understand the feeling and amazing experience. Book your thrill e hoa mā. Live life to the extreme and do it. Beautiful scenery and great guides to make you wana do it again! Will be going back with the whanau. Āku mihi rangatira.
Challenge myself and wife on this rafting. Briefing and preparation was super clear by the friendly instructors. Indeed, an awesome good experience doing this rafting. 7 metres drop is no joke but fun after the drop. We got Ollie and Blue as our instructors. They both make everyone on the raft feel comfortable throughout. Thumbs up to both of them. Best Rafting ever. Thank you for the experience.
It was amazing and so much fun. Warm water. Thank to crew team and specially Blue and Pete from us 3 deafies. Will definitely come again.
Exhilarating experience I was so nervous but they filled me with positive vibes great professional made me feel like I could do anything xx love love love ❤️ everyone needs to do this with these guys x
Incredible adrenaline-pumping rafting experience going down the beautiful Tutea Falls and unpredictable rapids! It was great that we got the chance to swim the rapids too. Thanks to Matt and the team for a wonderful adventure, including the photographer for capturing the highlights! :)
Friendly staff, great experience. Well worth our family setting off from Auckland (and Florida) at 5.30am to make it in time for their 9am booking. 6 of our boys did it together and said they'd do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks Haley!
This was the second time I went white water rafting with this crew and they were aweome both times! Fun, friendly and professional team. Thank you!
Awesome rafting with Kaituna Cascades! We had so much fun and our guide Sir Cole was so informative we felt so secure throughout the whole adventure.
First time rafting and had a great time will definitely be back! Great instructions and just a fun time on the rapids. We didn't flip on the waterfall either! Highly recommend.
