Share LinkWhat an awesome experience!!!
We headed down to Kaituna for our very first Rafting experience. Upon arrival we were a little hesitant as the weather was quite cold but we were keen to see what all the fuss was about. Little Kevin was at the gate greeting us as we entered along with the Kaituna crew who were very welcoming. As we kitted up in our wetsuits (which by the way kept us super warm) and went through all the safety points and instructions we set off to the river just a short walk. The surroundings were breathtaking in itself absolutely stunning. Our team leader was Chris T and he was throughout the experience and awesome guy giving us plenty of excitement along the way. From start to finish the adventure was action packed and an experience we would do over and over again! If your contemplating it just do it you will not regret it! Absolutely loved it! Thankyou so much to Chris T and the team of Kaituna Rafting!!!! Tu meke 🙌🏾

Share LinkAwesome Rafting Ever
Challenge myself and wife on this rafting. Briefing and preparation was super clear by the friendly instructors. Indeed, an awesome good experience doing this rafting. 7 metres drop is no joke but fun after the drop. We got Ollie and Blue as our instructors. They both make everyone on the raft feel comfortable throughout. Thumbs up to both of them. Best Rafting ever. Thank you for the experience.
