Our Tongariro River expedition offers a unique blend of excitement and accessibility. Perfect for first-time rafters, the grade 3 rapids promise thrills and spills without the need for prior experience. Brace yourself as your pulse races and your senses are inundated with the sheer awesomeness of the journey.
In the midst of thundering waters, surrounded only by your fellow adventurers, you'll discover the addictive allure of white water rafting firsthand.
But the adventure doesn't end there. Paddle through the picturesque landscapes of the Great Lake Taupō region, where towering pine forests, native bush, and volcanic cliffs form the backdrop to your journey. Keep your eyes peeled for rare sightings of Whio, the endangered blue ducks, nesting along the river banks, and marvel at the colossal New Zealand trout gliding beneath you – some so large they've been known to snack on a passing mouse or two!

5.00Very friendly, kind staff. Tour guide knowledgeable and gave a couple of stories about what’s happened around river recently. Felt safe and secure in boat. Still an adventure over rapids and hands on with oars. Loved and would highly recommend.
Must-do in Tongariro!

5.00Kia ora! We decided against the Alpine Crossing and booked the rafting tour quite spontaneously. At first they had concerns because it is a Level 3 tour, but Julie instructed us super and calmly and always had everything under control. The tour was totally fun, the scenery around it was beautiful and we could also admire the rare Blue Duck several times. After that, we were totally hooked by the rafting and are already looking for the next destinations! Great team and also suitable for non-sporty people!
Amazingly beautiful and such good fun

Adrenaline‑Filled Rafting with Great Teamwork and Expert Guidance

5.00We had an incredible white‑water rafting experience with Tongariro River Rafting—easily one of the highlights of our trip. The journey down the river covered an impressive 14 km and around 60 rapids, and it was thrilling from start to finish while always feeling well managed and safe. Our guide, Ethan, was outstanding. He was friendly, reassuring, fun, and incredibly engaging, and his clear, excellent instructions helped us work together as a team to safely navigate the river. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and humour, which made the whole experience both exciting and confidence‑boosting. Everything was very well organised. All we needed to bring were our swimmers—shoes and wetsuits were supplied, making it easy and hassle‑free. A nice extra was that photos are taken on the final rapid, which you can purchase afterward as a great souvenir of the adventure. If you’re looking for an exhilarating, well‑run rafting experience with fantastic guides, we highly recommend Tongariro River Rafting.
Amazing - do it!!!

5.00Highly recommend this - we were a group of 7, kids and adults, and everyone had a blast - even those who were a bit nervous to begin with. Ethan our guide was absolutely superb, so knowledgeable, happy to answer questions and honestly an all round top bloke. Everything you need is provided, you stay warm and toasty and even after jumping in the water (by choice) people were still warm for the remainder of the time on board. Considering the time spent with the crew it is great value for money. Definitely worth doing.
Best Family Experience

5.00From the high energy greeting at the counter, to the clear instructions and briefing and right through to the end, this was the best family experience of our holiday! Ella our guide was super, taking us over the 60 rapids with skill, humour and a few twists and turns! For this mum age 48 , taking water loving teenage kids and hubby, the whole trip was a breeze to set up and then a fun time to the end!
Highlight of our trip to the north island

5.00Our family of four (kids aged 12 and 15) had the best time white water rafting down the Tongariro River. The rapids were a good combination of thrilling but not too scary for kids. Our guide Rata was fantastic- patient, funny and did a great job guiding us down the river in a fun but safe way. The whole experience from start to finish was run smoothly and the clothing provided to us did a great job keeping us warm on the water. Thank you for an amazing day experience our family will remember for a long time.
