Epic Rafting Adventure with an Awesome Crew! - We had the best time rafting the Grade 5 Wairoa River with Kaituna Cascades! Our guide, Cole, what a legend- so experienced, witty, and made the whole experience incredibly fun. The entire crew was welcoming, easygoing, and just all-round good people, made us feel at ease right away. The rapids were an absolute thrill, and the scenery was stunning- it’s the perfect mix of adrenaline and natural beauty. We felt safe the whole time thanks to the team’s expertise, but they never held back on the adventure, laughs and good times. We definitely recommend booking with this company!
