Experience the thrill of Whitewater rafting on the Kaituna River only 15 minutes from central Rotorua. Join River Rats in an adrenalin rush that takes you down the highest commercially rafted waterfall in the world. Fast and furious, this exhilarating ride moves you through foamy water and over the awesome seven metre drop.
Although this trip provides full-on action, the river is pool drop meaning that every rapid is followed by calm water, making it very forgiving for a grade 5 river. Therefore adventurous beginners are welcome. Around 15 – 20 minutes of training is provided prior to the trip teaching all the required paddle commands and safety information.
