The best experience I had in Rotorua! - Great wet weather day option, did it in the rain but that doesn’t matter bcos you’re gonna get wet anyways! And then warmed up in their sauna after! Bliss. The crew was so fun and friendly. Made my trip in Rotorua.

BEST ONE EVER Experienced - Now before starting, i have done rafting in Asia, Europe and this was the latest one. This was by far the best one. The water is so clean and just the right amount of cold. You get swim in the rapids and the highlight being “6m” waterfall Justin and Sam were the best guides we have ever had Must recommend Go for them

Fun and exciting experience! - Fun and exciting trip down a fast and difficult river. We went just after a cyclone so the water was very high. The tour operators were very fun and friendly but took safety extremely seriously, there was always an extra kayak or boat in support if something went wrong.

Adventure of a lifetime - First time rafters and went in nervous. Our guides took care of us the entire way. Once we got going we realized there was nothing to worry about. Came out with the adventure of a life time. Make sure you go to the restaurant next door afterwards for a couple of cold drinks!
