The rafting was amazing! Such a beautiful setting and the rapids were fun to go through! It's about an hour long but it was such a good time and was a perfect length. Great rapids and waterfalls, and fun guides! So glad we made this a part of our trip! Everyone was super friendly and helpful. They were full of jokes! Josh was an awesome guide.

We almost canceled this trip because of the weather. It was rainy and 60°. The company assured us that we would be warm and not cold so we went ahead. We were in full wetsuit gear and had the most magical trip. You just don’t realize how beautiful everything is as your traveling down and our guide Cameron was amazing Professional and very engaging. Highly recommend this. probably the highlight to do in Rotorua for nature lovers.

A must do experience. I did it on a rainy day and it was equally as good! You are getting wet anyways and the river is beautiful regardless!

This was fantastic. Was a bit nervous, as I was by far the oldest one there, but it was great Peach, who steered our raft, was really funny, and put us at ease. Thoroughly recommend this activity.
