Incredible that the who walk was earth and not man made
Really good experience and relaxing after adrenaline activities. Staff very friendly. Had a late lunch at the cafe which was very much needed and reasonably priced.
Was so awesome, made my skin feel so soft. Still over 24 hrs later and 3 showers my skin still feels soft. I trod on a bumblebee just before I got in the mud and it stung the bottom of my foot, as soon as I rubbed it in the mud the sting left. Staff were really friendly, nice atmosphere. Just wonderful all round ??
This is the best experience we have had in NZ! From the beautiful surrounds to the crystal clear waterways the views are just as amazing as the white water rafting! The guides made you feel incredibly safe and comfortable the whole way! This isn’t just a white water rafting experience it is so much more!!!
I would highly recommend this company, especially ride with Tom or Jesper! Jesper gave us a ride from town and Tom was our guide on the boat. We have laughed all the time :) one of the best experience in NZ! Definitively not to be missed! Cheers
Simply awesome adventure with these guys! Nate was our guide and made us feel excited and well looked after throughout the adventure. The whole team were engaging from the moment I arrived until I left. I'd definitely do the river again with this crew.
Awesome and unforgettable lifetime experience for even a non-swimmer like me. The rapids may look scary but it is so much fun rafting with complete confidence in your guide and the red (lifesaver) kayak. The crew were incredible and they have such an enviable office. I would say this is a 'must-do' activity in everyone's lifetime.
It’s fun and full of excitement, thanks Jack and Nicho for bringing my first rafting experience so memorable!
Brilliant fun from start to finish
Fantastic ride thank u
The staffs were really friendly and it was an amazing experience for us. Looking forward to see u guys again and great work guys.
Amazing experience, super informative, interactive, safe but most of all fun, even for older people 🤣🤣
Me and my partner were first timers going white water rafting and it was an awesome experience. Thanks Sam our diver on the boat you are awesome highly recommended.
Awesome
Always a blast, they are super professionals, made us feel safe while still taking care of everyone. Our guide Jure was amazing and made the whole experience even better. Couldn't recommend more :)
What a ride!! Absolutely awesome time on the river!! Felt a bit nervous initially but the crew put us all at ease straight away with their friendly hilarious banter and stellar expertise. Complete masters of their craft, always felt absolutely safe and had a blast! Would highly recommend Rotorua Rafting for a great adventure that won’t be soon forgotten. Thanks to Jure and Nathan…. what a top bunch of lads! We never felt it’s unsafe when we’re with them and we enjoyed to the fullest of our ride. Thanks to George for the beautiful pictures ☺️. A must do!
Absolutely awesome time on the river!! Felt a bit nervous but the crew put us all at ease straight away with their friendly hilarious banter and stellar expertise. Complete masters of their craft, always felt utterly safe and had a blast! Would highly recommend Rotorua Rafting for a great adventure that won’t be soon forgotten. Thanks Mitch, Nate, Nikau and Jure - what a top bunch of lads!
We ent in summers so the water was pretty warm and the guides and all the staff were very professional and fun. They made the whole experience even more fun. Our guide was SAM and he was amazing, he was really funny and a great trainer. Overall, the whole experience was really fun and a must-do for whoever is visiting Rotorua.
Jack our guide was excellent and went above and beyond. He ensured we experienced some once in a lifetime experiences. Definitely worth it.
Awsome Experience
Awesome way to spend a couple of hours. The guides are awesome and super friendly and very much know what they are doing! Our boat flipped (not as scary as you’d think) and our guide was all over it! Had it under control. Such an awesome experience
We were really unsure about doing anything touristy in Rotorua due to overpricing and lack of actual experience however, these guys proved us completely wrong! We enjoyed every millisecond of this trip. We laughed way too much(if that's even possible) and the guides made us feel totally safe, especially while we sat in suspense above the 7 metre Tutea falls. I'm so glad we chose Rotorua Rafting for our trip down the river as the experience would not have been the same without the relationships we forged with the guides and their laid back personalities. We had Tom to guide us down the river and Jack & Cam to make fun of and get made fun of! We would 100% recommend these guys. Thanks again !!!
Great feeling
These guys are excellent. From arriving at the base to leaving afterwards they provided the best customer service and provided you with everything you needed. On river was amazing, beautiful bush scenery all the way, and of course heaps of fun on the raft. We surfed waves, swum over a waterfall and had the perfect trip. Recommend these guys for your rafting trip, you won’t be disappointed ! Also they took photos along the way, and you can purchase them at the end for only $39 which I thought was great value.
Crew: Friendly and hilarious! Very professional. Experience: quite a number of rapids and obviously the waterfall itself! It was thrilling to say the least! Overall: An hour of total fun! Very thrilling but safe as well. There were a large number of additional help on kayaks aside from one guide per boat. Life jackets work ?. Swallowed water but that's to be expected ?. Anyone with contact lenses should bring and wear goggles. Mine slipped out and i was almost half blind. So i had to shut my eyes at the best bit which was a little sad. But overall great fun!
Fantastic experience, I did this as a 50th birthday treat with my daughter, son in law and one of their friends. Great guide thanks Cam you totally made our day, I would definitely be doing it again next time I visit New Zealand ?
I totally enjoyed the experience. Our guide was awesome I felt totally safe. I haven’t experienced such an exhilarating experience in such a long time. I’m 58 years old it was the best ever experience
Absolutely loved every splash of it. Sam, Nate & Neeks we’re very professional, informative and looked after our crew. Got amazing photos and would highly recommend it. Can’t wait to book again in the future. Thanks guys!!
I came to celebrate my birthday with girlfriends and none of us had done this before. All the guides were awesome! Special thank you to Jesper who took us down the river and made sure my scared friend was feeling safe. Highly recommend people doing this I would definitely do it again!
Worth the money! Would even pay full price and it would still be worth it. Staff were so accomodating and fun to chat with while waiting for your scheduled time. Had Jack as our guide. An absolute legend. Never felt unsafe the whole time and is a good laugh. Definite must-do in Rotorua. 10/5 stars!
That was amazing experience. Team and instructor are very good and guide very professional way. It's worth for many and lifelong experience. Highly recommend. Special thanks to Chalssss..
Amazing experience. Lovely staff. Kept us safe. Brilliant !
If you wanna do it dont think just do it ..really professional staff ....amazing
Everything was great!!
The most exhilarating 1-2 hr rafting experience this whanau enjoyed today. A great Christmas gift idea, well worth it. Thanks to friendly, helpful and funny staff members for an epic adventure.
I've been going back and forth to Rotorua a couple of times now but I can tell you this is one of the most memorable experience! The guide is wonderful. Friendly and makes you feel safe. Felt kinda sad by the end of it the fact that the experience was only 1 hour. Wished it would be longer! But love love love the experience and would definitely go again to bring more friends!
As nervous as you could get - if you're really looking for the adrenaline rush and excitement, then request your guide to do you a favor and flip the boat on the water rafting. That was pretty much the highlight of our journey :) One that you would definitely remember. I should say, I can swim but not a really strong swimmer yet I could survive. It is just dangerous enough but still safe. Definitely recommended!
