Kaituna River Rafting

White Water Rafting on the Kaituna River

You’ve heard about the Kaituna River and the exciting river rafting experiences it offers. Now you can experience those thrills with the original and the best white water rafting company on the Kaituna River!

What can you expect? Let’s start with the rapids, which hit grade 5. If that’s not enough, when we reach Tutea Falls, you’ll be met with a seven-metre drop. The feeling as you go over the edge is indescribable, and the elation as you come out of the spray at the bottom is immense.

Trust us; we are not over-selling it. Even our guides – guys and girls who have run these rapids and dropped down Tutea Falls hundreds of times – still get a thrill out of it every single time.

So, if you are looking for the best white water river rafting experience, whether you are in Rotorua, Tauranga, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, or even further afield in Wellington, make a booking with us.

Are You in Auckland, Waikato, or Anywhere Else on North Island and Are Looking for River Rafting Experiences?

From Auckland to Wellington, rafting down a waterfall is one of the best waterfront activities you can experience. We offer a range of trips, including on rivers other than Kaituna River, with options to suit most ages from about 10-years-old up. Older age restrictions and recommendations apply to trips with higher grade rapids. In particular, you need to be physically active.

However, you don’t need any experience to go river rafting with us in Rotorua, and you don’t need any equipment. We’ll supply everything you need, and we’ll give you training before getting out on the water.

Make your booking today. Group bookings are available too, so please get in touch for a quote.

What You Can Expect

Kaituna Cascades is the Kaituna River’s original rafting company, and we’re the closest company to the river. We have lots of off-street parking and chill out areas for you to enjoy in stunning natural surroundings. We are based in Okere Falls, Rotorua, and the Okere Scenic Reserve backs onto our white-water rafting base. So, there are plenty of walking trails nearby.

When you book with us, there are no long bus rides to get from the rafting company to the river as we are right there. There will be no standing around in wetsuits waiting to get started or any other unnecessary delays either. Instead, we’ll get you kitted out, we’ll give you the information you need, and we’ll get out onto the rapids.

Speaking of those rapids, on the Kaituna River and our other local rivers, the rapids range from grade two to five. There are waterfall drops, including the thrilling seven-metre drop at Tutea Falls. There are also exhilarating rushing rapids and calm pools, which give you time to get your breath back and enjoy the scenery as you get ready for the next rush.

We offer experiences for everyone, from groups to thrill-seekers to families from the age of 10 up to whatever. So long as you are physically active and healthy, you’ll love white water rafting with Kaituna Cascades.
