Review for: 2-Hour Kaituna Whitewater Rafting Adventure

wish the whole experience was longer, would love to go on the course twice! safety was emphasized and even if you couldn’t swim, you can still do the activity! guides were super helpful. definitely more fun if you can swim, you go down one small waterfall! they also provide wetsuits and boots so you just need swimsuit/towels only, no need water shoes! you can also pay for photos for 40NZD 😂

Review for: 2-Hour Kaituna Whitewater Rafting Adventure

Highly highly recommend. Our guide Raife was super entertaining and we had fun the whole trip! Going down the waterfall is a super unique experience and you definitely have to try this at least once in your lifetime. They also provided everything you need, life jackets, wetsuits and even boots. so all you need to do is turn up in your swimmers and bring a towel. Superb experience. left on an adrenaline high and would definitely want to go again if i can in future.

Review for: 2-Hour Kaituna Whitewater Rafting Adventure

This was our first time on river drafting and it was so much fun!! Definitely recommend it. It looks scarier than the experience itself, honestly even old farts can do this without screaming. I honestly think it could be done in a more exciting way. Facilities wise it was not equipped with a proper shower room, but there was cold plunge and sauna room available at the site. They also provided shampoo, soap, and towels which was very nice of them to offer. Pictures were taken and offered at NZD40 for all, which you could share with your raft mates.
