Had a fantastic experience with these guys. Top quality service and professionalism.

My partner was having a tough time overcoming her fears of the water and the guides could not have done a better job throughout the trip. This was by far our favourite activity in the north island. I would highly recommend using these guys to guide you down the Kaituna falls which is perfectly topped off by a mud bath and thermal springs soak.
Cheers Guys

  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.
