Kaituna River Whitewater Rafting in Rotorua stands out for its blend of big-water fun and deep connection to place. Drop the world-famous Tutea Falls (7 m/22 ft) and surf a lively gorge while local & Māori guides share whakapapa (genealogy and stories of place), tikanga (customs and protocols) and the river’s cultural significance. We keep groups small as possible, supply premium cold-weather gear, and include central hotel pick-up. Pro photos available, book here for adrenaline, scenery and authentic stories you won’t find elsewhere.
Not recommended for pregnant travelers. Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries. Wheelchair accessible. Suitable for all physical fitness levels. Subject to favorable weather conditions. If canceled due to poor weather, you will be given the option of an alternative date or full refund.
