Worth it!
Such an amazing experience, provided by an extremely knowledgeable team of guides, who still have the ability to make the experience as fun and safe as possible. Would definitely recommend white water rafting with this company if you’re travelling through Taupō or similar

Gabe our tour guide was fun and entertaining and very skilled. We had a really thrilling experience with him and the company on the Tongariro river.

We had not done rafting before and this was a great place to start. All training was provided and the instructors were very easy to understand. We had a fantastic afternoon. Can't wait to go again. Thanks guys
Top notch experience!
Best rafting experience we’ve had. I’ve rafted several times in different countries and this was the most well organized and fun! We brought our pre-teen daughter (it was her first real rafting, she’d only done slow, all ages family floats before) and she thought it was the most fun adventure we did on a trip filled with lots of outdoor activities.
Also, for all the gear included, pricing was excellent. And our guide was funny, and chatty (but not too chatty) and very knowledgeable about what he was doing (making us and our daughter feel like she was in good hands on some of the wilder rapids). I wish I could remember his name (and the lady who checked us in, also extra friendly & helpful).
Anyway, like we told them when we left, they shouldn’t be surprised if they see us again soon, as even though NZ is really far from our home, we’ll be back and they are for sure on our next itinerary. All I can say is top notch outfit!
Tongariro White Water Rafting
We did the Tongariro White Water rafting trip with Gabe. It was a fantastic experience and Gabe was very knowledgeable and had great control of the raft. We enjoyed his sense of humour and stories. Overall it was a very well organised and efficient operation using quality gear and proper briefings. A must do experience
Ride with these guys!!
I don't know how our Rafting New Zealand experience could be better!
Sure the weather helps but everyone there, and i mean everyone - drivers, guides, counter people and the young helpers, were most friendly and all in to making our experience enjoyable.
Jess and Owen were our guides - aside from instruction, they gave us some local info and kept it fun.
We would definately ride with them again.

Thank you for one of the best experiences we've ever had ☺️
Our guide Matty was superb and so much fun. She made the experience better than it could've ever been.
I'd mentioned I have Bronchitis and later found an inhaler in my jacket. Felt really cared for by them ☺️
Super pro guys from beginning to the end and committed to delivering the safest, most amazing experience ever. Will definitely come back for more adventures.

My girlfriend and I took the White water rafting experience and we simple loved it. Big Credit to our guide on the river (John) he knew the river like he was born there.
We would recommend this to anyone who is not afraid off a little water and a great trip
We Hope you'll love it just as much as we tid.

Staff were friendly, helpful and professional. They did a great job of preparing us for the activity, ensuring safety, and making it fun. A great experience!
Stu's Crew
Once again another awesome day out with the team at Rafting New Zealand. The River Wild race is one of our all-time favourites... the river, the scenery and most importantly, the people, make it a day like no other.
Very cool rafting
Very cool rafting. Pictures and movies expensive, but we were the only two people in the boat.... If we could have divided the costs with others, it would have been better.
But the experience is awesome.
