We had such an amazing experience with Sam and the rest of the crew! For a couple of first timers, we felt completely safe and supported throughout the paddle and they kept us laughing through the ride. Definitely an adventure you won’t want to miss to see explore one of the most beautiful parts of Rotorua/Okere Falls!

Hey Alanna, Thanks for the amazing review and we are stoked you had such a good time! The crew had such a good time paddling down the river with you. Enjoy the rest of your Holiday.

EPIC TOUR
Absolutely EPIC tour. Our guides were friendly, knowledgable and adventurous. They made us feel safe out on the rapids, despite the conditions being intense. HIGHLY recommend this tour over any rafting tour experience. Its more active, challenging and thrilling, and you learn more about how to navigate the white water.

You must do this!
If you found this tandem kayak while looking for white water rafting on BookMe like us, highly recommend doing this as you go over the same rapids and 7m waterfall but with the intensity and adrenaline turned up to 100. You also get to optionally swim down a rapid and jump off a 10m cliff. Rob, Sam, and Jerry were amazing guides and made us feel safe throughout the entire experience, and provided knowledge of the surround areas. Still reeling from what an amazing experience this is, hands down the best thing we have done so far!
