Wonderful experience from start to finish. Shout out to Flynn for being such a fun guide, Bal for making us feel safe, and Josh for taking incredible photos. If you’re not sure which rafting group to do Kaituna with - choose Kaituna Cascades!! The experience was worth every penny and a highlight of our trip. If you’re moderately fit and up for an adventure, you will have a blast.

Fantastic experience! The location was super easy to find with GPS. When we arrived, the friendly staff welcomed us and gave us all the initial info we needed. Once our whole group was together, we got the safety briefing—which covered everything thoroughly—yet the instructor still managed to weave in so much humour that I honestly regret not recording the performance. The trip down the rapids and over the three waterfalls was an absolute blast. We were in the raft, out of the raft, and most of the time clinging to the raft until our knuckles went white 😄. We cheered each other on, laughed at ourselves, and definitely had a few moments to laugh at others too. All up, an awesome adventure. Just do it!

The experience was incredible! We had the best raft lead, Josh, who knew so much about the Māori history of the Kaituna Cascades and prepped us well for the long waterfall drops. Overall I felt very safe and had such a lovely time. Thank you to the whole team for the experience!
