The KAITUNA RAFTING SPECIALISTS
VOTED #1 EXPERIENCE IN NZ, #1 EXPERIENCE IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC and #2 EXPERIENCE IN THE WORLD,
Rotorua Rafting offers the best adventure activity in New Zealand and perhaps the world. White Water Rafting in Rotorua doesn't get any better than with the best in the game Rotorua Rafting. Rafting on the Kaituna River’s World Famous 7m Tutea Falls is sure to be the highlight of your holiday.
Established in 2011, by Okere Falls local and four-time Extreme Kayak World Champion Sam Sutton, Rotorua Rafting's mission has always been to offer the best white water rafting adventure on the planet and the best tourism activity in New Zealand.
How?
We hand-select the best guides on the planet who collectively have more than 150 years of river experience. We choose guides you can trust to get your mum down the river but also guides that want to go above and beyond to make sure you, as our guest, have the best rafting adventure of your life! Leaving us stoked, smiling and loved.
With a fully fit-for-purpose built rafting base directly across from the river and only a 20-minute drive from central Rotorua in Okere Falls. It's as easy as turning up with your swimwear and towel and letting us dress you in the best equipment on the market before spending the best hour rafting on the planet.
Why us?
Simply put, we make sure we pack more than any other company into our tour. We don't just raft the river, we let you swim rapids, and we surf every wave we can. It's shown from the time you arrive, to the time you leave all whilst making sure you have the best guide equipment and experience on the river, all day, every day.
Book your spot and find out why Rotorua Rafting was voted #1 Travellers choice experience in New Zealand, #1 in the South Pacific, and in the Top 10 in the world on Trip Advisor 2019 and then again in 2021 sealing the #2 experience in the world!

KAITUNA RIVER WHITE WATER RAFTING
Not only are we passionate about you and the experience but we have gone above and beyond to make sure Okere Falls is left in a better way than we started. We have planted over 40,000 Native trees. We offset our CO2 footprint by 120%. We have collected tonnes of rubbish from the immediate area and donated thousands and thousands to a variety of causes.
When you raft with us we help the community to leave a better Okere for all.
