The whole thing was so much fun, Malcolm was great and very reassuring which made it super fun for us as some of us were quite nervous! We would highly recommend.

our guide Elvis was an absolute star striking a great balance between hyping us up for the big waterfall wall giving us the confidence to do it safely. Top fun throughout!

Unforgettable experience thanks to Josh, railey
Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! The team (especially Josh and railey) was beyond amazing — professional, knowledgeable, and full of energy. Our guides made us feel safe and confident every step of the way while keeping the vibe fun and adventurous. The Kaituna River itself is stunning — lush native bush, crystal-clear water, and of course, the thrilling drops including the world-famous 7-metre Tutea Falls! The adrenaline rush was real, but the laughter and teamwork made it even better. A massive shoutout to the whole crew for making this such a memorable trip. Their passion and love for what they do truly shine through.
