Why Water Rafting Is A Good Choice For A Team Building Activity

When it comes to choosing an activity for your work function, office party, or team building event, there are certainly many options to choose from in and around Auckland. Many companies opt for things like wine tastings, fancy lunches, etc. But have you ever considered white water rafting? Water rafting near Auckland provides you with many exciting opportunities to make long-lasting memories with you and your team!

Let’s look at some of the reasons why water rafting is the ideal choice for team building.

You Don’t Need To Be An Adrenaline Junkie To Enjoy Rafting

There is a common misconception that rafting is only for adrenaline junkies, but there are different types of rafting tours that cater for all levels of experience, including complete novices.

Ideal For Groups Of All Sizes

Whatever the size of your group, we can make a plan to host everyone.

Creates Solidifying Bonds

Experiencing something exhilarating together with your team allows you to get to know each other, trust each other and create solidifying bonds.

Far Removed From The Office

When you’re hosting a work party or a team-building event, it is always nice to get your team out of the office environment. Kaituna is as far removed from the office as you could get, and this really allows people to relax and have fun.

Perfect All Year Round

People may think that rafting is only a summer activity, but it is actually ideal all year round. The best thing about Kaituna is that there are hot springs that you can enjoy in winter or any other time of the year!

Provides Beautiful Scenery

During the rafting experience, your team will get to enjoy the beautiful scenery between the rapids and falls that is calming and relaxing. It’s a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with nature!

Create A Yearly Tradition!

If your team really enjoys the rafting experience, you can make it a new yearly tradition and an initiation for new employees. Give everyone something to look forward to throughout the year, and reward your valued staff with some fun!

THEIR TIME WITH US
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.
