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 😊

So worth it! - For the adventurous heart! We had such a great time from arrival to the end. My husband is healthy and in good shape so he really enjoyed himself. I’m a plus size woman and honestly I was nervous about being able to do this.
To be honest, if you can keep your mind strong (don’t overthink it) and trust your body then definitely consider this adventure because the views and the feeling of accomplishment at the end is so empowering. It will push you, but the guides are so capable of keeping you safe and on course you have nothing to worry about.
You’ll need to do some walking to get to the river and have decent arm strength and leg strength to manage your sledge, but after that it’s pure fun!
Thank you to our guides who were super patient, considerate, and understanding as we went along our adventure. You made our day awesome!

Give Ben and Coruzo a raise - My friends and I had the BEST time sledging and wish we could’ve gone twice. Our guides were Ben and Coruzo who took great care of us and made us feel safe and prepared the whole time! Give those two a raise!!! cmon!! If you’re Bens mum reading this - he’s doing great, no need to worry! 10/10 recommend if you’re up for the challenge, it’s not for everyone so know what you’re getting into!

Rafting & sledging combo - Great experience! Whilst the rafting was great fun, it wasn't as scary as it looked. The sledging is both much more exciting and harder than I expected. Very different to the rafting, glad I did both

As awesome as we expected! - We were made to feel welcome from the moment we were picked up from our motel. The guides were very professional and clearly explained that the experience was going to be challenging and that we needed to be strong swimmers. they made us feel safe and that we were going on a real adventure! They supported myself and my sons to have an amazing experience that we feel was the highlight our our holiday.

Sledging - truly unique and awesome! - Sledging, what an experience - certainly something I've never done before and truly unique. Had an absolute blast but had to put in some hard Mahi for this one. Amazing to be in the water and boosting down rapids and waterfalls on the sledge. Always felt safe and in control with the amazing crew, especially Jackie and Cruzo who took us down the river. Enjoyed our time with the Kaitiaki adventures whanau and would recommend them to anyone looking for a bit of adventure. Service was outstanding along with experiences we had with them. Will definitely go back!

River sledging fun, photos never delivered - I bought the photo package after river sledging. They weren't uploaded in the initial Dropbox link that was sent out (other rafting times that day did have their photos uploaded). I had multiple exchanges of emails with the company, where they said things like "oh we're just doing it now", "we'll do it today and let you know when it's done" etc, none of which happened. I've asked for a refund for the photo package... no response. The river sledging itself was fun.
