An unforgettable experience with my kids and nephews! Our terrific guide led the way expertly and we navigated the rapids and different styles of rafting in a fun and memorable arvo. 5 stars!!!
Thanks for the awesome review, Teresa! We’re stoked that you and the kids had such a memorable time navigating the Kaituna with our team. Thanks for choosing Rotorua Rafting!
We had the best time! None of us had any white water rafting experience, but our guide was so experienced and reassuring and made it so much fun. One of the best experience we had during our NZ trip. And their photos are great too.
We appreciate the five stars! Hope the rest of your NZ journey is just as awesome. Thanks for joining us!
Had some of us get sick before our trip. With just one e mail we were able to re schedule our next visit. Guides are well prepared people.
Thanks for the great feedback, Francisco! Thanks for choosing us for your adventure!
Thanks for the review, Yvonne! We’re stoked you had such an incredible experience. Hope to see you back in New Zealand again soon.

Kaituna River Rafting
Amazing experience! We pushed ourselves outside our comfort zone and didn't regret it. The guides are fun, knowledgeable and friendly and ensure everyone feels safe. A definite highlight of our trip! A few of us aren't super confident on the water but our guide Eames made us feel really safe. You won't regret doing this!
