Rangitaiki River

If you’re an adrenaline junkie looking for that next fix, we might just have exactly what you need.
The exhilarating Rangitaiki river is a short drive from Rotorua and well worth the trip to take part in this Grade 5 rafting experience. Rotorua Rafting is one of the most respected providers of white-knuckle, water-based adventure in the area. Our guides are second to none, and our packages bring you everything you need to jump feet first into a Rangitaiki River Rafting experience. Experts in our field, we have crafted the perfect day for thrill seekers who want to conquer Rangitaiki’s 14km white water joy ride.

The Rangitaiki River is often overlooked due to the mighty Kaituna River, but it’s definitely not to be under estimated.
It is nothing short of an epic rafting adventure.
With approximately 1.5 hours (depending on water levels) on the river, you will be left feeling satisfied and stoked on what you have achieved.The Rangitaiki River is located 45mins south east of Rotorua near a small village called Murupara.

Either drive yourself out and spend some time bathing in the free hot pools halfway back to Rotorua or be picked up in Central Rotorua with the Rotorua Rafting crew, ready for some good banter on the bus ride out.
