Radical rapids and great guides
I went at 9am, and the day was perfect for it. All of the guides had a great sense of fun, humour, smiles and also safety. Our guide, Jasper was fun and when needed clear and sincere. Loads of fun being able to swim down a rapid, and enjoy the peaceful moments looking up at the canopy. The guide taking photos was excellent, awesome pictures to remember a great morning. Great value paying for your whole raft, rather than per person. So grateful for the grand time out.

Amazing instructor
Me and my friend had a great time, she did fall off the boat when she wasn’t supposed too and the instructor was quick thinking and everyone around made sure she was safe as soon as she was able to be reached. The team is lovely and overall we really enjoyed the experience.

Yeah sometimes people do fall out but we are there to help you straight away !! The best thing about the Kaituna river is the deep pools after every rapid.

Amazing experience
Amazing experience. Malcolm was a great guide and somehow made us believe hurdling off a waterfall was a good idea. Would absolutely do this again.
