Awesome adventure
Such a fun rafting experience, well educated and plenty of clear instructions so we knew what to do. Staff were very friendly and reassuring. Our guide Curtis our was fantastic giving opportunities to push ourselves and making the experience extra fun! Thank you.

Overall Experience
The Instructor wasn’t treating us the same like others in the boat. Not everyone has experience in river rafting before. He needs to understand the new people has to feel more comfortable than the experienced one. He completely lost that. He just made boat member feel completely discomfort..... it’s pretty much spoiling their whole rafting experience. Which is unacceptable and bad too. Will not personally recommend Kaitiaki to any of my friends and family in NewZealand. Just because of that instructor in the boat.

Kia Ora Sathishraja. We are sorry to hear you didn't have an enjoyable time. This is extremely disappointing to hear. Each guide is very aware of all abilities, rafting is a unique experience 95% of the people who come have never ever rafted before. Unfortunately you have felt you were not experienced enough. Guides are there to encourage and get you down the river the safest way possible. We will get together to improve in this area. Thanks for your feedback.

Rafting
If you want to just sit in a boat and have no fun.. then go with this company as it's the most boring company I've been with, rafting this part of the falls. No fairness on switching positions in the boat like other companies and a completely rude tour guide. This was my 3rd time rafting down these falls and I know what to expect.. A amazing time! BUT this company was not amazing. My partner and I never got to sit in the front and be pushed into the water, we never swapped positions, we weren't allowed to go for a swim and many other things wrong with this company compared to other companies. I recommend not sitting in the middle or the back of the boat if you go with this company as you will not get the full experience.. You will basically sit In a raft and stay completely dry 99% of the time. The only time you will get splashed is going down the main waterfall. Go with a different company.

Kia Ora Freya, it is unfortunate to hear you didn't enjoy your experience with us, if you are ever back in the Rotorua area we would encourage you to come back so we can try and change the experience for you!! Nga Mihi, Kaitiaki Adventures

숙련된 리더와 함께하는 안전하면서도 박진감 넘치는 래프팅
실제 래프팅 시간은 45분에서 1시간 정도 소요됩니다. 전체 시간은 대략 2시간반이며, 처음 30분은 등록 및 오리엔테이션 시간이고, 왕복 30분(각 15분씩)은 실제 래프팅 장소로 가기위한 차량 이동시간이며, 1시간은 래프팅 시간, 이후 30분은 복귀 후 복장을 갈아입고, (원하는 분들에 한해) 사진을 찾는 시간이라고 보시면 될 것 같습니다. 모든 크루들은 상당히 숙련되었으며, 실제 탑승인원은 7명(직원 1명 포함)인데 6~7m 폭포 하강 시 3명이 보트에서 이탈(위험하다기보단 해당 폭포 래프팅은 그러할 수 있음)했음에도 침착하게 보트에 다시 탑승시키는 등 짜릿함과 안전함을 둘 다 갖춘 매우 훌륭한 경험이었습니다. 래프팅을 안 한다던 와이프, 그리고 20살된 아들 모두에게 좋은 경험을 갖게 해주어 만족스러운 경험이었습니다. 다시 한 번 카이티아키 어드벤처 직원들에게 감사합니다.
