Nice short rafting experience

It was a cool experience and the rafting lasts around 45 minutes only. Does not require much effort and we only rowed for some very short periods as you constantly have to stop and wait for other rafts.

An unforgettable rafting experience with my son

We had an amazing time rafting with Rafting Rotorua! I went with my son, and it was such a fun and memorable experience for both of us. Kyle was absolutely fantastic — he took great care of everyone on the raft, making sure we all felt safe, confident, and included. His instructions were clear, his energy was positive, and he really made the whole trip enjoyable. It was exciting, well organised, and perfect for families. We were smiling the whole way through and will definitely remember this experience for a long time. Highly recommend!

Whitewater rafting

Our guide Connor went above and beyond to make this experience exciting! I didn’t know what to expect if our raft will flip on the water fall but I tried to remember the instructions they gave us. When it happened, I exactly did what I was told even though I was so scared of drowning. The other boats and guides were there to help rescue. It was so fun and I will do it all over again.
