Amazing team, with lots of experience. Managed to juggle timings with us as our plans were disrupted, and still get us a great run down the river. I can recommend... read more this to anyone who wants to feel alive - whether you think you're ready or not!

  An exciting white water rafting experience in a beautiful native forest setting near Rotorua. Rob was a fun great guide.

  Very fun, loved every bit even the scary waterfalls. Very nice and funny people who kept us all very safe and great warm gear too. The water was very warm... read more so much fun getting to swim in it. Definitely a must do.

  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.

  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.

All round good time

  Professional team had a super fun time and felt safe and looked out for. Would highly recommend this company. Will be coming back for another ride.

  The whole thing was my favorite part. Pete was great and I had a really fun time working with my raft mates to get through the river. There was a... read more lot of laughs and heaps of water going up everyones noses (so nose Covid here, probably?).

  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.
