It was the first time my boyfriend and I had ever been rafting and I think we did it with the best company and the best river. It was absolutely amazing, one of the top things to do in NZ! The rafting team were great fun. I highly recommend it as a thing to do when visiting Rotorua!

The kids (15 & 16) were looking for adventure, and this tour was highly recommended. The guides were fun, experienced yet took it seriously and very professional. The kids had a ball and rate the experience as the most fun that they have had. As a spectator you can walk along the river and get good vantage points for some... More

We have booked a rafting tour after the tourist center recommended the Rotorua Raftingteam. We were kind of late, but still early enough to jump in our suits. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Young, motivated team it is indeed. As soon as we were at the river, which was more than beautiful, we got our tourguide. Because of this... More

This was the second time I had rafted the Kaituna river. While my rafting skills were just as crap this time as last time, rotorua rafting and our guide Sam were definitely an improvement! He definitely brought some extra excitement to the raft! (Not that it was needed with grade 5 rapids and a 7 metre waterfall!) who would have... More

It is always difficult to choose a company with the range of rafting company leaflets. My friend and I could not believe how lucky we were picking Rotorua Rafting. Neither of us had done it before but had so much fun and would definately do it again. The guides and owner were so relaxed and full of fun, loving what... More

We went for the early morning run and were completely alone on the the river. The river is beautiful and raftig-wise a great one - there is enough whitewater to get you wet in a very short time :-). The guides were great und are on top level. Equipment incl. wetsuits, fleecy etc. are highest standard, felt always save being... More

I organised for my husband to go white water rafting as a birthday surprise. He had previously been a white water river rafting guide many years ago on the Rangitikei River, so this would be a new experience for him on a different river, although also a Grade 5 river to raft on. The owner, Sam Sutton, is a nice... More

I recently walked down to the Okere falls. This is an exciting 20 foot waterfall for rafting, kayakers, sculls, and sledging (like a half surfboard). My wife and I have enjoyed the rafting before. However, as we got to the steps, we met a couple helping an injured girl. She had just dislocated her shoulder, and was in considerable pain.... More

I haven't bee rafting but have seen people do this & I must say that it looks pretty intriguing. I have done the walk from the top to the bottom & return. It takes roughly 1/2 hour, each way & is beautiful under the trees, ferns etc with the water gushing sound below you somewhere. You do get a chance... More
