Amazing experience - We got fit in at 12 after we missed our 10:30am trip as we went to the wrong address. The staff helpful and put us through free of charge. Also Nui was an amazing guide, he made it super fun and made us feel safe the whole time. Thanks so much Nui

This is rafting as it was meant to be! - I've rafted all around the world, for more than 50 years, and own my own whitewater company in the U.S. This ranks among the handful of top-tier whitewater experiences that I'll always remember and cherish. If you enjoy whitewater - or even if it's new to you - this is an absolutely "must do!"

Worth it! - Loved it, was all over too quick. I'd only ever done upto grade 4 rapids so was really looking forward to this trip and it didn't disappoint. All the guides were great, especially Peach who was in the raft with us.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. - FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. We had a brilliant experience - this company has a superb set up which gives you confidence as soon as you arrive. They were very thorough on all safety aspects, without detracting from the enormous amount of fun you get doing this activity. We enjoyed it so much we wanted to get straight back in and do it again! Perhaps the best way I can explain it is to say that initially, when you are booking, it seems like a lot of money, but when you step out of the raft at the end you feel that it has been worth every penny! Thanks Rotorua Rafting - you were fabulous!
