If you’re looking for one of the most memorable Christmas functions ever, you can’t go wrong with a thrilling white water rafting experience that will not only be a ton of fun but will also serve as a great bonding experience for your team.
At Kaituna Cascades, our awesome Okere Falls rafting base of operations is ready to host all manner of groups – whether it’s families, staff functions, hen or stag parties, birthday parties, or any other kind of group do. Bringing together your team for a Christmas function on the water will give your hardworking team memories they’ll never forget.
Here are some reasons why it’s a great idea to bring your team out for a ride on the water.
Rafting on the Kaituna, Wairoa, or Rangitaiki rivers is wet, wild, and fun. The challenge posed by navigating these rivers is exhilarating and will leave you with something to talk about for years to come.
By sharing this adrenaline-pumping experience with your colleagues and teammates, you are sure to form stronger bonds with them through the shared experience.
Our Okere Falls base is set up in a picturesque location with plenty of space to host a party. Not only is the riverside venue gorgeous, but it is tranquil as well. It is the perfect spot to rest up and hang out with one another after the adrenaline rush of rafting down the river.
What’s more, the actual rafting experience itself will take you through some of the most pretty scenery in NZ. Bask in the natural beauty of Rotorua with your team.
While the white water rafting experience is indeed the main attraction, there is so much more to see and do in Rotorua.
At our base, for example, we have a volleyball court set up for a fun and friendly game. The shady trees, picnic tables and BBQ facilities make it a great place to share a meal and share rafting stories. Nearby is the Okere Store, where you can get all manner of goodies to eat and enjoy some of the best craft beer in Rotorua.
Rotorua is also home to some gorgeous hot springs and spas. After an exhilarating rafting session, you and your team and go enjoy some soothing and rejuvenating relaxation time at one of the local spas, such as Hell’s Gate.
Join us at Okere Falls for a rafting experience you and your team will never forget. Contact us today before we get booked up!
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.
