Chee Hoo! - The experience was outstanding! Having Hemi and Jackie as guides made the experience fun and safe. They also brought cultural aspects, which was really nice to see a company that values not only the culture but the land we use. Sledging was loads of fun, and will definitely come again! Thank you so much ✨

Go sledging! - Sledging down the Kaituna with Jackie and Drax was an awesome experience. They made sure we knew what we were doing and were safe while also showing us how much fun sledging is. Totally recommend this trip. Thank you! 🤩

If you want an awesome fun adventurous day, look no further! - The white water and sledging adventure was amazing. Our guides Hamish, Ben, and Jace were so friendly and made the day an absolute blast! We are in Rotarua for part of our honeymoon and it was a super fun adventure to do together! I had never been rafting before and hadn’t even heard of sledging. As an added bonus, the water was 23 degrees Celsius! When I went in the water it was like a warm, chaotic, bath.
Thank you to the team for a phenomenal day!
*notes: wear your bathing suit, they have wetsuits you can put on. You get water boots (mandatory). If you’re doing both the rafting and sledging, bring a small snack for in between + water to sip when you reset before sledging. Don’t wear anything valuable (if you accidentally bring, they can lock up valuables for you/you can put your excess clothes and they get locked in the change room). Bring a fresh pair of clothes to change into for when you’re done!

Thrilling - Great thrill and great instructors leading you through the rapids. The river is warm and not too scary.

As others have noted this... - As others have noted this is for people who love to swim and are comfortable in whitewater conditions. You are in the water the entire time. If you love that idea you'll LOVE this. We had a blast! This is physically demanding as you need to be able to kick into and out of rapids. All that being said, the river is absolutely gorgeous reminiscent of Jurassic Park 😉

Fun - Sledging was awesome. Wish I had time to do the rafting also! My favorite part was surfing the wave and learning to do a barrel roll. Thanks so much to James and the team!

Fun high intensity rafting experience with AMAZING guides-Jackie & Caruso!!!!! - 5/5 thanks to Jackie and Caruso who made the whole experience! Sledging is physically more challenging than rafting but with our guides and their help in the water, we road the rapids on our sledge boards! It was exhilarating! Our guides also gave us the local history of the water and its importance to the Māori people which is fascinating. AMAZING day!!!

Unbelievable amazing experience - My husband and I had no idea what we were going into. We did it anyway, and…. It’s absolutely a blast!!! We both love water sports and excitement. Sledging gives them all to you. However I don’t think I can do without our guides SAM and Coruso. They both were very helpful and caring. We felt very safe with them in the rapids. I cannot rave enough of Sam, the super energized guy. He is overloaded with energy. He has fun in the water and he makes sure everyone feel the same. We did it on Sep 8th, which was my 60th birthday. We were at NZ to celebrate the special day. Sam definitely made this my most memorable birthday celebration. Thank you Sam! I know you are just doing your obligation, but you don’t know how much your extra steps meant to me. Thanks again and I hope to be back for more celebrations 😊
