Every raft on the Kaituna queues up for the same headline drop: Tutea Falls, seven metres, the highest commercially rafted waterfall in the world. You don’t need experience; guides drill you on flat water before the grade five sections arrive. River time runs under an hour, so pair it with ziplining or a hot soak to fill the day.
Experience the thrill of white water rafting on the Kaituna River in Rotorua. Get your adrenaline pumping and book your adventure today!
