Our Klan showed up to Rotorua Rafting with a mix of adventurers… and a few who were absolutely petrified about tackling Grade 5 white water. But from the moment we met our guide, Jack, everything changed. His calm confidence, clear explanations, and genuine humor turned fear into trust. He made our most nervous members feel safe, secure, and completely looked after. Once we hit the river, the transformation was incredible. Those who started the day terrified were suddenly cheering as we crashed through rapids, dropped over waterfalls, and sailed through the wildest stretches of the course. Rick handled every moment with skill and ease, keeping the perfect blend of safety and excitement. By the time we reached the final pull-out, the once-petrified members were the loudest voices saying, “I’d do that again!” Beautiful scenery, heart-pounding fun, and a guide who truly made the experience unforgettable—Rotorua Rafting delivered a highlight we’ll be talking about for years.
Thanks heaps for sharing! Sounds like a day full of laughs, thrills, and memories to last a lifetime!

What a rush!
We had a great time on our rafting trip! Our guide was great, the river was beautiful, and we managed to stay upright going down a 7 meter waterfall! What more could you ask for.
