Dan was an amazing guide! He was fun, energetic and made you feel safe at all times. (Oh Accept that time he dunked us under the water fall! 😅 just kidding that was the best part!) thanks to all the team would highly recommend. If you don’t do it you’re missing out! Cheers Guys!

Awesome
My boat flipped over so it is a good experience. It is half an hour training +1 hr practice. Tolerable to people like me who usually sits in the office for hours and barely exercise.

Fun and exciting family adventure activity
A super friendly, co-operative, humerous, fun -loving group helped us enjoy an adventurous, whitewater rafting experience. Our raft flipped down the 7m waterfall, but we were well warned of appropriate action and soon back in the raft. We swam in the water alongside the raft and even swam down a waterfall in the quality wet suits, booties and life jackets provided. Our guide was competent, thorough and inspiring. Our family of 5 were kept together in a raft and we even managed to change our time slot when delayed by traffic. The site was easy to find, but lies some 20 mins drive from Rotorua. I recommend this awesome activity for U!
