  Don't bother looking at other companies, just do yourself a favour and book with Kaituna Cascades. I have rafted the Kaituna with this company twice now, 10 years apart. Both... read more experiences were equally excellent. They run a consistent slick operation. Being within walking distance from the put-in spot means you spend more time where you want to be, on the water, rather than in a van. This company surely knows how to maximise the river to give you the best possible experience. Guides are great. Our guide, Sam, was simply outstanding. I would hate to think how many times he guided this trip yet his enthusiasm made us feel as though it was still very fresh for him and he was getting as much enjoyment as us. His skill, encouragement to get his clients to extend their boundaries, great sense of humour, a desire to give us the best experience possible makes him the ideal person for this job. Well done Kaituna Cascades.

  The river was so fun- the instructors were amazing and it was a great experience. The instructors knew what they were doing and made the whole experience very fun.

  Amazing experience with a wonderful team. Our guide Peter is so fun and sensible. he made sure we all understand the safety guidelines along with having an epic adventure. Thank... read more you so much.

  My partner and I did this on the 27-2-22 and I was so nervous during the detailed induction lead by the very cool Elvis but he was so informative and... read more I knew he was an expert so I went ahead. I am sooooo glad I did. What an incredible experience. Elvis was so attentive and entertaining. He made us all laugh and feel safe. During the experience we were close with the other rafts from same company and all the other staff were always checking on each person and making the joining so enjoyable. We all felt super safe as they also had 2 men on kayaks who kept a close eye and were on hand if anything was to go wrong which nothing did. It was such a thrill going down the falls and the big drop at the end wooowwww. They also allowed us to have a swim where the water was safe so that was a bonus. Elvis suggested some different seating positions to maximise the fun and elevate the experience which we enjoyed throughly. Pete greeted us so warmly and honeslty every single staff member form the young guys helping with life jackets to the experts-Pete at front counter made us feel welcome and special. What an incredible team and more importantly such a fun bunch. Highly recommend this to anyone- live a little and enjoy something more than just sitting in a tub at Polynesian spa. I will never look at Rotorua the same again. Thanks Pete-Elvis and the whole team. We will be back.

  Highly recommended. The staff was amazingly helpful and friendly. Our guide Owen (I hope that's right) was awesome! He guided us throughout the rafting. Great communication. We never felt unsafe... read more with all the gear on. Thanks for the most adventurous time of our lives to these guys.
