George was a wonderful pilot and seems to have a lot of flying experience ! He took us over the volcanoes with lots of interesting informations, and always gave me time to translate for my parents. The plane was comfortable and we didn’t have to wait at the beginning. George gave us lots of information about what to do for the next days, and always with a big smile. He is highly recommendable, and the flight lasted 1 hour and 50 minutes, awesome !!!! You need to do this if you are in N.Z. !!

Incredible that the who walk was earth and not man made

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 ??

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.

This was our first ever guided group hike, but it exceeded expectations. The trip started with a one-hour drive on roads that become quite bumpy as you ascend. This was followed by 1.5-2 hrs of hiking, which provided brief workouts on a couple ascents. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable of the geology and area culture. The mountain displayed rich earth-tone colours and scenic views of the volcano and area. A steep scree slope provided a fun descent and the guides insured the two children descended safely. Suggest hikers wear pants to keep rocks out of your boots, and bring hiking poles if you own them. The group pace was slow which allowed time to soak up the views. Recommend this as a relatively easy Alpine hike on a dormant volcano. If you are less fit, we saw groups coming via helicopter.

This tour is an absolute must do. Not only is this tour the only way that you can get up Mt Tarawera, it is also a real privilege to be able to walk up there. We had two guides who shared lots of information with us as we went around. They were kind and very patient. In our group there were young and old people. One person was afraid of heights. So one guide stayed back with them and gently encouraged them. The other guide went on ahead with the rest of the group. No one was left behind and no one was held up. It was really really good. Together everyone was able to complete the walk. From the top we were able to see Whakaari ( White Island) , whale island, Tongariro, Ngaruhoe and Mt Ruapehu.... amazing Loved it and would definitely do it again.

Unfortunately it was wet and visibility was poor, but we still enjoyed the experience. Even though you couldn't see much you still got a good sense of the power and history of this mountain.

This walk was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever done. We had a perfect day. It was a bit cloudy at the beginning but then the sun came and we could see unique landscapes. Our tour guide Dan was amazing! He knew a lot and told us all the history of this place. He also showed us the different types of rocks you could find there and ALWAYS checking on us (He was also really patient because we stopped a lot to take pictures haha). A must do if you’re around Rotorua. I definitely recommend doing this. I can’t wait to come back :)

Would highly recommend this hike, it was fairly easy going with a bit of rock climbing up the Hillary stairs. The 360 degree views from the summit are amazing so definitely aim for a clear day! I was a bit unsure about the scree decent into the crater but the guides gave some good tips and once I got the hang of it this part was lots of fun! Even the van ride to the car park is an adventure (just make sure you empty your bladder first lol).

Not an easy hike, but it was explained clearly, with the challenges of each section outlined. Guide was fairly inexperienced but clearly well trained, and there was a very experienced guide also on hand. Well worth doing!!!

Even though it has its adrenaline side, we felt safe 100% of the times. Peter was amazing, as well as the rest of the crew. We highly recommend it!! Definitely an amazing experience

Had a fabulous adrenaline-pumping fun-filled afternoon yesterday rafting on the Kaituna River with our teenage boys. This is a MUST DO, whether it is with family, friends, work colleagues or visitors. The crew are a great team, professional, safety conscious, and lots of fun.

Mean as trip! Instructors were hella supportive by calming nerves and offering precise instructions but best yet they were hella entertaining *SPOILERS* Kaituna river wise the views were astounding, opportunities to jump off the side, hold on and rip a few rapids outside the raft 007 style. If you flip, the boys keep it professional and keep you safe 100% Chur fellas! Hope to you again!

First time rafting and had a great time will definitely be back! Great instructions and just a fun time on the rapids. We didn't flip on the waterfall either! Highly recommend.

Will go again in a few months. Amazing experience. Great skilled staff and the whole trip is highly recommended. Hayley was amazing

We had an awesome time! Or guide Rob was perfect for us, knew when to have to fun but was also professional and reassuring! We loved the 7m waterfall, went upside down but felt safe the whole time. Photos were amazing too and for only $40! Don’t be put off by the waterfall it’s not that scary!

Thank you book me and the amazing crew at Kaituna Cascades. Especially Pete who made it so much fun and safe. It was insane and exciting, I would highly recommend it. Having never done it before, I would happily do it again and again.

Everything about this was incredible! If you're considering doing this, book it. It's exhilarating, the staff are the best and you won't want to get out of the boat at the end!

We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend the experience

Just the best experience! Felt very confident as far as safety awareness and education given and going down the falls was amazing. Would highly recommend this as a fun and exhilarating experience!

So cool!!! Thank you guys

Friendly staff, great experience. Well worth our family setting off from Auckland (and Florida) at 5.30am to make it in time for their 9am booking. 6 of our boys did it together and said they'd do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks Haley!

It's definitely a must try when visiting Rotorua. Kaituna Cascades ran everything very smooth and made sure we were safe and having fun. Thank you see you again

Definitely need to be there to understand the feeling and amazing experience. Book your thrill e hoa mā. Live life to the extreme and do it. Beautiful scenery and great guides to make you wana do it again! Will be going back with the whanau. Āku mihi rangatira.

One of my best experiences ever! All the staff where really nice, chilled out and funny! Would deffo recommend and will be coming back in the future. We had Malcolm as our guide who was great! Loved every minute also we flipped on the fall!!

Exhilarating experience I was so nervous but they filled me with positive vibes great professional made me feel like I could do anything xx love love love ❤️ everyone needs to do this with these guys x

Awesome trip down the Kaituna. Felt safe the whole time. Great host Reece. Told us exactly what we needed to do. Will do it again ?

Absolutely fantastic! You need to try it.

Awesome rafting with Kaituna Cascades! We had so much fun and our guide Sir Cole was so informative we felt so secure throughout the whole adventure.

It was my first time rafting and I couldn't ask for a better experience; Tutea Falls, swimming, jumping from a rock in the end and very nice pictures (40NZD link in e-mail). The group was amazing and Baltazar was a very funny and great guide ^^ Can definitely recommend this tour!

Best experience I've ever had on the river , staff were funny and lookd after us really good , thanks guys

A must do if your seriously seeking some adventure The guys were concerned with nothing but our safety and ensureing our experience was unforgettable Thanks for the great time and an experience that will never be forgotten AAAAAAAA++++++++++'

Staff were super friendly & helpful Instructor was cool 😎 & calm…SAFE Super, safe and straight Fire experience

I was admittedly a bit nervous, but as soon as got our gear on and got into the boat to practice, the nerve were gone because our instructor, Rob, was really fun, had good humor, and explained everything very well. Going down the waterfalls was exhilarating — it was quite cold since it’s still winter but amazing nonetheless. The photos are a bit pricey, but we didn’t regret purchasing them as they’re great quality! Thanks for a rad experience, guys! :)

An amazing experience. Our guide Elvis was great, making sure everyone felt safe, and had fun. Would highly recommend doing this!
