Absolutely awesome
My fiancee and I had a wicked time, the staff were great and the experience was safe but great for a bit of adrenaline! The only downside is we would happily have done it again! I would highly recommend this rafting

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!
