Unforgettable experience thanks to Josh, railey
Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! The team (especially Josh and railey) was beyond amazing — professional, knowledgeable, and full of energy. Our guides made us feel safe and confident every step of the way while keeping the vibe fun and adventurous. The Kaituna River itself is stunning — lush native bush, crystal-clear water, and of course, the thrilling drops including the world-famous 7-metre Tutea Falls! The adrenaline rush was real, but the laughter and teamwork made it even better. A massive shoutout to the whole crew for making this such a memorable trip. Their passion and love for what they do truly shine through.

Absolutely gorgeous
Me and my friends loved this amazing activity. The guide was friendly and did best for safety and the forest and river was just mesmerising. If we have any chance to visit again we will definitely do that and recommend others to have this experience
