Rotorua is exciting, one of the gems of New Zealand, and a place with an almost unlimited amount of adventure activities to enjoy! If you have found yourself desperate to unleash your inner daredevil for a while, it might be time to pay a visit. For thrilling adventure activities in Rotorua, we at Kaituna Cascades know about – and provide – plenty. Read on for more on how to get your blood pumping in Rotorua!
At Kaituna Cascades, we have first-hand experience of just how popular white water rafting is in Rotorua! This is one of the best adventure activities in Rotorua that you can do. With the help of dedicated raft guides, come face-to-face with the world’s highest rafted waterfall at Kaituna, and embrace the action-packed beauty of Rotorua’s rapids.
Ever wondered what it’s like to fly? Invest in an adventure activity that makes you feel weightless: ziplining! In Rotorua, you can glide through the verdant canopy of the Redwoods Forest on a zipline, where you’ll soar above the trees – and above everyone else’s head! – and see firsthand the nature that distinguishes Rotorua from everywhere else.
Because Rotorua is blessed with so many stunning lakes and rivers, jet boating is one of the top adventure activities to do here! Traversing through Rotorua’s lakes at a high-speed, jet boating is exhilarating and relaxing all at once. You can sit and enjoy the wonderful sights of Rotorua whilst chasing that adrenalin rush!
Rotorua is well-known for its natural hot pools, mud baths and sulfur spas, generally found at Hell’s Gate. Whilst not an entirely thrilling activity on their own, when combined with a rafting experience through Kaituna Cascades, dipping into a mud bath after a day of rafting across Rotorua’s fiercest rapids is guaranteed to be a welcome balm for your sore muscles and beating heart!
Ready to try white water rafting in Rotorua, or perhaps mountain-biking or ziplining through the Redwoods Forest? If the adventure you’ve been waiting for lies on the Rangitaiki, Kaituna or Wairoa rivers, don’t hesitate to contact Kaituna Cascades at your earliest convenience.
We cover all your rafting needs so that you can race through Rotorua’s wilderness able to focus on what matters most; embracing nature, and getting your blood pumping!
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.
