Thanks, Grace! We’re stoked you enjoyed the experience. Hopefully, we'll see you back on the river again soon!
Just(in)credible!
Thank you, Maik! It was a pleasure hosting you here in Rotorua. We hope the rest of your New Zealand journey is just as epic!
Fantastic experience. Just wish our younger boys could have done the waterfall section with us. We'll definitely be back when they are old enough!
We appreciate the five stars, Lazza! We’re so glad you enjoyed the experience. The river isn't going anywhere, and we can’t wait to see the boys' faces when they finally tackle Tutea Falls!
The river was wild and fun. It was very well organized. I felt safe the whole time. Lucas as our guide was wonderful - so much fun!
Thanks for the review, Chris! We're stoked to hear you enjoyed the wildness and playfulness of the river as much as we do. See you next time!
Amazing experience! We pushed ourselves outside our comfort zone and didn't regret it. The guides are fun, knowledgeable and friendly and ensure everyone feels safe. A definite highlight of our trip! A few of us aren't super confident on the water but our guide Eames made us feel really safe. You won't regret doing this!
Thanks for the awesome review, Sally! Glad to hear you had fun out there and felt safe at the same time. Thanks for pushing your comfort zone and sharing the love of the river with us!
