Best part of my trip visiting NZ. Guides were fun and brought great energy. Had a sauna and cold tub for after. Waterfalls were no joke but guides were great and a great thrill! 10/10 recommend

Thrilling rafting
Lots of fun and the guys were very funny running the show. Felt like it was a bit short and over after a couple waterfalls. Great experience though!
From Rotorua Rafting - Grade 5 White Water Rafting & Free Sauna
Thanks Katelyn! We're stoked you had a fun and thrilling time. :)

The best gift for Father's Day
I purchased tickets for my Husband and his friend and they had the best time. The experience was one to remember and I'd definitely recommend this adventure. The best thing was that we got to watch them at the drops to be apart of the experience.
From Rotorua Rafting - Grade 5 White Water Rafting & Free Sauna
Thanks so much, Cat! Sounds like a perfect Father’s Day adventure — thanks for the recommendation!
