So much fun!

Our experience as first timers with rafting was incredible! Jess (our awesome guide) and the team were so welcoming ... they even let mum sit with the dogs by the warm fire inside while she waited for the 3 of us to return. We highly recommend Rafting NZ to anyone wanting to have a go! :)

Awesome

Had a wonderful time. Owen was very professional and filled us with confidence. It was exciting and exhilarating even for a couple of pensioner wrinklies.

Great family fun

My family of 5 loved our adventure, even my youngest who was a bit apprehensive had fun, especially once the hot chocolate came out!!! The rapids were exciting without you feeling scared and the guide were great fun. The birdlife was incredible - piwakawaka and welcome swallows the whole way down river, and whio!!!!

Awesome experience, would highly recommend

The staff are awesome and we all really enjoyed the experience! Had a nice option to do cliff jump (even in winter!) and were given a cold beer and hot dog afterwards. Would highly recommend doing this experience if staying in Taupo or Turangi, scenery is amazing too!

Great experience

Great experience thanks to Gabe and Hector who took 5 novices down 50 odd rapids without ever feeling unsafe and having fun. Very friendly and efficient, everything ran like clockwork. It is a great way to see the river with knowledgeable commentary by Gabe and Hector a bonus.

Great fun and great experience.

Great fun and great experience.
Rafting NZ could have more up-front info in FAQs about the lockers that are available and whether you can wear sunnies, as people who are travelling need to organise their gear.
Friendly and helpful staff, good day.

Awesome fun and crew.

Our family of 4 had a fabulous time rafting with Rafting NZ. Check-in was smooth and easy. The rafting was great fun on the Tongariro River with many challenging rapids. Our raft leader (Johnny) kept us informed of interesting spots along the way and we always felt that safety was the number 1 priority. Highly recommended

Excellent service and genuine care…

Excellent service and genuine care about customers.
It was my best experience on my 10-days long trip over the country.
I look forward to returning to the Tongariro River, which was so kindly presented to me by Rafting New Zealand team!
