River rafting isn’t the easiest activity to undertake. It demands upper body strength, endurance and adrenaline! Unfortunately, this dissuades many New Zealand tourists and locals from giving rafting a go. At Kaituna Cascades, we provide professional white water rafting across the waterfalls of Rotorua, and are therefore happy – and knowledgeable enough! – to give you 3 reasons to try rafting at least once. Read on for more!
The best thing about rafting, and the main reason you have to try it at least once, is the fact that you can see spectacular views up close and personal! At Kaituna Cascades, we’ve brought eager rafters to dozens of stunning, unforgettable views that they can adventure through. One of the best is Tutea Falls, the highest commercially rafted waterfall in Rotorua, and the world!
Exercise is essential for maintaining your health and wellbeing. Ideally, though, you should participate in a fun exercise that you can actually enjoy – this way, working out isn’t a chore! Rafting is exactly that; a thrilling, fun, effective cardio workout that, whilst having a physical impact, isn’t emotionally draining or something you dread to do.
Rafting is all about team building. You have to work together as a group to paddle where you need to go! Co-ordination, communication and trust are foundational values of rafting, so giving this activity a go not only gives you the valuable opportunity to spend time with your loved ones, but to strengthen your bonds as well.

This was a great couple bonding experience that took us both to the edge of our comfort zones. Could not speak highly enough of the professionalism of the guiding team - yet making the whole experience one of such fun.
MY FAVOURITE EXPERIENCE IN NZ SO FAR. TOOK THE 9AM TOUR TODAY AND ALREADY CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK. THE RAFTING WAS SO MUCH FUN AND THE TOUR GUIDES ARE HILARIOUS. NEVER FELT IN ANY DANGER JUST ENJOYED THE RIDE! WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYBODY. I WENT AS A SOLO TRAVELLER AND IT WAS STILL REALLY ENJOYABLE.
Brilliant! We had heaps of fun. Guides were friendly and made us feel safe and comfortable. Highly recommended to all!
Fantastic outfit. The crew were cheeky as but super professional. We felt safe throughout the entire experience. 11/10 and a big shoutout to Rob for being a GC.
White water rafting at its best. Wonderful guides. A must do when in or around Rotorua. Felt safe, but had the best time.
Great experience! Made me feel safe when I was scared!! You the m san Owen! So glad I did it. It is beautiful!
The guide, Sam, went out of his way to make the trip as fun and exciting as possible. The whole team were friendly and inclusive.
Cole was a really good guide, talked us through everything and had a good laugh. The water was nice, not cold at all. They provide wetsuits, footwear, helmets, life jackets and polo fleeces. Worth the money and would do it again. Recommend going in a group so that you can split the cost of photos.
Unbelievable experience rafting the 7m waterfall this morning! Even more fun when the boat flipped!! Highly recommend! Great fun and great instructors!! Shout out to Pete From the Irish girls.
