Join the Original Kaituna Rafting Company for an unbeatable Grade 5 white-water experience on one of New Zealand's most exciting and beautiful rivers!
Cheers for the epic review team!
Family of 5 from Ireland including a nervous mum and 3 thrill seeking sons. What an adventure we had. Ollie was brilliant Highly recommend
Thank you for the five stars!!
I went at 9am, and the day was perfect for it. All of the guides had a great sense of fun, humour, smiles and also safety. Our guide, Jasper was fun and when needed clear and sincere. Loads of fun being able to swim down a rapid, and enjoy the peaceful moments looking up at the canopy. The guide taking photos was excellent, awesome pictures to remember a great morning. Great value paying for your whole raft, rather than per person. So grateful for the grand time out.
Cheers team, thank you for your review!
Me and my friend had a great time, she did fall off the boat when she wasn’t supposed too and the instructor was quick thinking and everyone around made sure she was safe as soon as she was able to be reached. The team is lovely and overall we really enjoyed the experience.
Yeah sometimes people do fall out but we are there to help you straight away !! The best thing about the Kaituna river is the deep pools after every rapid.
Cole was very fun and engaging, we had and excellent time full of laughs, smiles and a bit of water 😉. Had and awesome time and a wonderful experience, will certainly be back. Thanks for making such an incredible and memorable time for us!! Got returned to our Nana safe and sound! 😂
Thanks for the awesome review & coming out rafting with us !! Great to hear you has such a good time with COLE

Amazing Experience
Had an amazing river rafting experience! Our guide, Malcom, was an absolute legend—super fun and made the whole day unforgettable. We arrived late, yet the team kindly waited for us, which truly shows how great and understanding they are. Everyone was friendly and professional. Don’t forget to buy photos—this is a lifetime memory! If you can, try to sit at the front of the raft for the best experience.
