Kia Ora Ian! Thanks a lot for your epic review! We're stoked that you enjoyed your experience and that we could contribute to the family memoirs in some way!

Awesome people!
The Kaitiaki staff were so lovely and welcoming! They made what was already going to be an amazing experience, even better. I would highly recommend booking through Kaitiaki if you are thinking of doing white water rafting. Was an amazing day!
From Kaitiaki Adventures - Kaituna Whitewater Rafting
Kia Ora Alanah! Thanks for the sweeeeet review! We're all about that Manaakitanga (hospitality) here at Kaitiaki, so to hear that was something you took from your time with us is assurance that we're living up to our values! Definitely come and visit again when you're next in Rotorua! Perhaps you can try our White Water Sledging next time? Ngā mihi, Kaitiaki Adventures

Delayed and unprofessional staff
Our rafting experience was delayed by 50 minutes without any excuse or explanation why. We had to get our own jnformation. The staff was unprofressional and made jokes which were a bit "too" much. I didn't hear something they said so I kept walking. She then asked where I was from (Holland), and then said aaah that explains a lot... Rafting itself was very cool though.
From Kaitiaki Adventures - Kaituna Whitewater Rafting
Kia Ora Jeroen, We are sorry you have had a delay in the experience and this was not explained properly! We aim to inform everybody well before the activity if there are any delays - we will relay this to the staff to ensure it does not happen again! We are happy you enjoyed the rafting though! Enjoy the rest of your journey throughout our beautiful country! Nga Mihi Kaitiaki Adventures

Overall Experience
The Instructor wasn’t treating us the same like others in the boat. Not everyone has experience in river rafting before. He needs to understand the new people has to feel more comfortable than the experienced one. He completely lost that. He just made boat member feel completely discomfort..... it’s pretty much spoiling their whole rafting experience. Which is unacceptable and bad too. Will not personally recommend Kaitiaki to any of my friends and family in NewZealand. Just because of that instructor in the boat.
From Kaitiaki Adventures - Kaituna Whitewater Rafting
Kia Ora Sathishraja. We are sorry to hear you didn't have an enjoyable time. This is extremely disappointing to hear. Each guide is very aware of all abilities, rafting is a unique experience 95% of the people who come have never ever rafted before. Unfortunately you have felt you were not experienced enough. Guides are there to encourage and get you down the river the safest way possible. We will get together to improve in this area. Thanks for your feedback.
