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!

We’d give this six stars if we could. The experience was amazing from start to finish. All the staff were welcoming and friendly and very reassuring about the trip to come given we are a pair of 60 year olds with the usual compliment of bodily aches and pains! Out on the water Stefan was an excellent skipper and we felt safe and in capable hands at all times. The Tongariro River is stunningly beautiful and we feel privileged to have been able to enjoy it from the water in this way - and across 60 rapids! It was physically demanding but not excessively so and if you’re unsure about ‘grade 3’ just give it a go - you won’t regret it. Thanks again to Stefan and to all at Tongariro River Rafting for one of the best adventure experiences we’ve ever had.

This white water rafting tour was worth every cent. From check in, through to kit fitting, safety briefing, transportation and of course the rafting itself - all very well organized and very professional. Stefan aka SpaceMan was an awesome guide who ensured my family was confident throughout the 2 hour trip and ensure a ton of fun. Very engaging and switched on guy. And even learned a few things along the way. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

We had a great time with just enough thrills and a chance of a spill. Top guide with clear instructions and great knowledge of the river and wildlife.
