Rush in December
I hadn’t done any extreme activities in a while, so I was excited but also incredibly anxious — I barely slept the night before! I’m so glad I went through with it. Kaituna Cascades is well equipped and run by highly experienced guides, which really shows why they consistently earn a 5-star rating. A huge shout-out and heartfelt thanks to our guide, Jasper. He didn’t just make me feel safe — he made the whole experience genuinely fun and enjoyable. His confidence, humour, and encouragement made all the difference. This is definitely an experience I’ll remember forever.

Cheers team, Jasper is sure a legend hope to see you out here again!!!

Amazing experience with professional and friendly staff. We were well briefed before settting off - and when things went a bit array for me I was brought back in safely - it was scary but in a good way !!! Would def recommend.
