The famous Kaituna River is a rafters dream - a 50 minute action packed ride down 11 epic rapids, 3 wild waterfalls
- One of which is the highest rafted waterfall in the world at 7 meters. All of this in a deep, usually warm water jungle canyon!
All this with our legendary guides & you’ve got yourself the perfect day out!
Our sweet Rafting Base in Okere Falls is in an awesome sunny location, surrounded by a scenic reserve and backs onto the shores of the Kaituna. We are the closest and most accessible company to the river, meaning you get a more relaxed environment to enjoy yourself.
The native scenic reserve has a beautiful walking trail which you can view many rapids of the Kaituna River & there is even an amazing caf around the corner.
This makes for a great half day trip out to this stunning region of Rotorua.

Kaituna Cascades pioneered the exploration and initiation of rafting tours on the Kaituna River, and the business remains locally held and run by a pair of current raft guides, ensuring you’re in capable hands!! There’s no other location worldwide where you can raft on a stunning river that plunges into a vertically walled gorge full of raftable waterfalls and numerous eccentric rapids. The river’s warmth and depth (most of the time) often become the highlight of visitors’ New Zealand experiences. We carefully select our guides from professionals with an intense background in Kayaking and Rafting, thereby promising the safest and most exciting journey on the river! It’s also arguably the best value-for-money rafting in NZ. We strive for FUN, so join us for this once-in-a-lifetime, EPIC adventure.
Thanks & look forward to meeting you on the river - Pete & Blue
