It was a great fun. If it was more longer distance of rafting it would be much better.

Awesome experience the teens loved it!
Loved this experience. We had three teenagers aged 13 - 17. Our 15 year old German exchange student said this was highlight of his entire NZ trip, and he did Nth Island and Sth Island excursions. The nature along the river was like we had stepped back in time… so beautiful. Jack our guide was awesome and he ensured we were all safe and having fun. This is a must do experience. I also liked that this is a locally owned business. Kaitiaki adventures would be my first choice for your Rotorua adventures.

Wow — thank you so much for the amazing feedback! We're absolutely stoked to hear the teens loved it, and that your German exchange student rated it the highlight of his whole NZ trip — what an honour! The beauty of the river is truly something special, and we’re so glad you felt that timeless connection to nature. Big shoutout to Jack for keeping everyone safe and smiling! And thanks for supporting a locally owned business — that means a lot to us. Ngā mihi nui from the whole Kaitiaki whānau — we’d love to see you again for more Rotorua adventures! 🌿🌊🙌
