Take on the mighty Wairoa River in an adrenaline pumping rafting expedition you'll never forget! The Grade 5 Wairoa River near Tauranga is renowned for having some of the best white water action in New Zealand.
Kaituna Cascades run the whole section of the river including the bottom three rapids and the lower waterfall!
Hold on for dear life as you tackle 'Mothers Nightmare' which has a technical grade 4+ rock garden ending in a sweet 2 meter waterfall.
Experience the thrill of 'The Rollercoaster' - a long bouncing staircase of awesome whitewater that will get a giggle out of the hardest of souls!
Feel the rush of 'The Waterfall' which has an awesome 3 meter drop into a churning pool of white water and then kick back and enjoy the next 4km's of fun grade 3/4 rapids and waterfalls all the way through the Wairoa Rivers boulder-strewn rock canyon - ending with a sweet 5 meter cliff jump for those that want to send it.
Get amongst the action !

5.00Was a wonderful experience our guide Jasper was brilliant ,with his instructions and also made it fun at the same time,i found obviously if you pay close attention to his instructions you can't go wrong,also what makes it fun is some of the experience is down to how you your self perform, like swimming down the water fall then catching up with the raft at the bottom, thank you once again and hope you all continue to have a great time.Best regards David Anslow.

5.00This is a must adventure if you are visiting Rotorua. The most exhilarating experience we have had on the trip. Jasper made us feel very safe as we negotiated the rapids. The scenery is beautiful and the rapids are scary at the same time great fun. We would highly recommend the team at Kaituna. Thanks guys!

Wairoa River – Technical, exciting, and incredibly fun

5.00White water rafting on the Wairoa River was such a cool experience and very different from the Kaituna. This river felt more technical, with lots of holes and features that kept things exciting the entire way down. It was challenging in the best possible way and made the rafting feel really dynamic and engaging. Josh, our guide, was excellent throughout the trip. He explained the lines clearly, gave us confidence in each rapid, and kept the energy high while making safety a top priority. His experience and calm approach really showed on this river, especially with how technical it was. I’d highly recommend the Wairoa River to anyone who wants a slightly more technical rafting experience and something a bit different. It was an awesome day on the water and one I’d happily do again. — Lucy

5.00This trip is fantastic and well worth the money. Shout out to all the staff - all friendly, engaging, funny and professional. Our raft master Josh - all round nice guy, experienced, competent and with the ability to put even the most faint hearted of our group at ease - was excellent. For all round thrills, excitement, euphoria, bucket listiness, and feeling of accomplishment - I thoroughly recommend you do this - with this company. I guarantee you will not regret it.
One of the best experiences ever!!

5.00Such a great experience and so much fun! 10/10 would do again. Safety briefing was perfect and addressed everything as timely and efficient as possible. Shout out to Cole, Jared, and the rest of the crew, felt totally safe in their hands and they were super welcoming. If you’re not coming to Kaituna Cascades you’re missing out!
