What to expect
After pickup from any hotel in central Rotorua at your selected departure time, set off for a wild ride on the Kaituna River. Hop into your transport vehicle to the picturesque rafting base in the Kahikitea Forest, where river guides provide a full safety briefing. Once you've slipped into special clothing to keep you warm, grab your paddle, helmet, and life vest for the exciting journey ahead on the white water.
You'll paddle over more than a dozen rapids, including the impressive Tutea Falls, a cascade that boasts a 22-foot drop with adrenaline overload. Pass through a steep canyon lined by subtropical native forest while you learn to navigate the thrilling white water.
When you're safely back on shore, you're delivered back to the base where you can 'chill out' for a bit and view souvenir photos snapped by a professional photographer (available to purchase). Change into dry clothes and relax while transferred to your starting point.

Wow what a great experience! Such a great team and great adventure. Get ready to have heaps of fun and a exhilarating activity. The team was hilarious and engaging. Boppa was great fun and explained things in a plain, simple and easy to understand way. Drax was always cracking jokes while explaining how to keep us safe and maximizing fun. Hayley was great company and helped us all along the way. Frank took a lot of awesome photos. Jess was so warm and lovely. The whole team accommodated us so well and enhanced the experience with a lot of awesome insights and connection with the local tribe. Before we went out there were safety talks and along the way. Once we were in the raft we got to work practicing all the different holds to keep us in the raft and the paddling synchronization. There were some crazy rapids and a few waterfalls. It was a great experience leaving you wanting more! Overall I could not recommend this experience more. We would definitely go again.

First time white water rafting, I had no idea what I was getting myself into but the team made it easy and fun. Boppa was an AWESOME guide! Giving us all the history facts but keeping it fun and exciting with bonus features of going down a waterfall without a boat, and 'riding the bull'. Beautiful scenery on the river that you dont often get to see. Really great energy and respect of the land and water they were taking us through. 10/10 would do this again with Kaitiaki Adventures.
