White Water Rafting on Kaituna River

The Biggest White Rafting Adventure in Rotorua

When we started Rotorua Rafting in 2011, we did so with the full intention of ensuring every single one of our guests has the time of their lives. We’re run by Okere Falls-born Sam Sutton, a 4x Extreme Kayak World Champion and a lover of white water rafting. Together with an experienced and enthusiastic team, Rotorua Rafting offers a unique and fast-paced experience that you’ll never forget.

We’ve done white water rafting all over New Zealand (and the world!), and we know what it takes to make a great experience. Other companies, we believe, just weren’t up to it – so here we are! For an adventure like you’ve never experienced before, Rotorua Rafting is here. The Kaituna river is waiting for you!

Our Expert Kaituna River Guides

White water rafting in Rotorua is a wild experience, which is why we utilise a team of highly experienced and certified river instructors that all meet necessary national qualifications. We want your Kaituna rafting experience in Rotorua to be memorable for all the right reasons, and our team will help make that happen.

We choose all our instructors for their GC rating, which must be a minimum of four stars. They’ll walk you through the experience before you take to the waters, help you get into all your safety gear, and ensure you understand how to stay safe before getting out there. No matter if you pick the Rangitaiki river rafting adventure or the popular Kaituna River, our guides will have you in for a thrill.

Setting an Example for New Zealand

Great adventures can be eco-friendly, and we’re proving that every day. Rotorua Rafting is committed to setting a benchmark for sustainable and sensible tourism, operating under a goal of becoming the first carbon-positive company in Rotorua by 2020. That means, in the near future we intend to be offsetting more carbon than we use every day, meaning we’ll be helping to protect the environment we set out for you to enjoy.

This is an ambitious goal, but one we’re taking seriously. We’ll be the first rafting company to do this in New Zealand.

By December 2019, we aim to be fully solar-powered and will be using electric vehicles to shuttle guests from Rotorua Central to the Kaituna River. And, through our recycling and composting scheme, we have reduced our landfill waste from three bins a week, to one.

We hope you’ll see our commitment to the environment and be inspired! We think New Zealand has the best river rafting, is the most beautiful place on earth, and we want you to enjoy its incredible rivers with us.
