When it comes to the school holidays, the last thing you want your kids to be doing is sitting indoors and wasting their free time in front of a screen. You want them to appreciate the great outdoors, have an adventure, and make the most of their time off before heading back to the classroom.
In this guide, we will explain just how you and your kids can have a fun-filled, adventure-packed school holiday with white water rafting, so that you can both live life to the max before going back to the grind.
Taupo white water rafting with Kaituna Cascades is the perfect fun for all the family. As the best white water rafting company in New Zealand, we guarantee that you will be in safe hands with our highly trained raft guides and can create incredible memories. But rafting doesn’t stop at just being fun.
White water rafting is a great way to burn calories and build muscle at the same time. By using your upper body to paddle through the water, you can tone your arms, back, and shoulders whilst building endurance through the vigorous nature of the activity. In other words, it’s great for you physically and is like a gym workout, only more fun.
Not only is white water rafting good for your physique, but it can also boost your self-esteem. With Kaituna Cascades, we love our customers to feel a sense of accomplishment after rafting with us. The rapids may seem intimidating at first, but after our expert guides guide you on how to conquer them, you’ll feel on top of the world once you do.
When you’re on the water, you must work together, without the modern-day distractions of smartphones and technology.
White water rafting enhances your family bond, encourages teamwork, and allows you to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses within your party; it’s a highly personal experience that benefits everyone involved.
Here at Kaituna Cascades, we offer a safe, thrilling, white water rafting experience that you’ll never forget. Fun for all the family, a guaranteed adventure, and perfect for the school holidays, raft with us today – see you on the water!
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.
