Traveler Reviews

We had a great first ever rapids rafting experience. Luke is the boss! Looked after us from start to finish. We did the grade 2 course about 8km and 20 rapids. It was perfect from start to finish. The centre is very well laid out with great changing facilities and a super cafe/shop. Our 6 yr old enjoyed it so much she can’t wait to come back. Highlights included getting only a bit wet, not falling out (always listen to the coach, Luke in our case), and plenty of native birds and some geology! Would definitely recommend. We will return for the grade 3!

Fantastic day on the Tongariro River. We had 5 rafts with five great guides! Great location. Super professional and very friendly. Definitely recommend the trip!!! Do it and have a great time.

Great trip down the Tongariro river. Excellent guide. Thanks Ritai. The gear was good and the crew were relaxed and professional.
