Nature, culture AND adrenaline - This trip has it all! Take on the mighty Kaituna River in an unforgettable rafting expedition with Rotorua Rafting.
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.
We had an unforgettable family adventure with Rotorua Rafting on the Kaituna River! Our guide Sam and the team were entertaining, engaging, and made the whole ride hilarious and safe for 3 adults and 3 kids. Even our younger two (11) who couldn’t do the big drop still had an exhilarating experience, feeling fully included, also bobbing down rapids and jumping high off the shore. Two hours of pure fun, laughter, and family bonding — we can’t wait to do it again when they turn 13!
Thanks for choosing Rotorua Rafting for your family adventure! We look forward to seeing you back when the kids are 13 so they can finally conquer the world's highest rafted waterfall with us!
Such a well run whitewater experience. So much fun and a beautiful river. The guides clearly had great experience and were very personable. You have to give this ride a go; that 7m drop was awesome!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Corban. Hopefully, we’ll see you back on the river again soon!

Awesome fun
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.
