I had the most amazing time with these guys, from welcome to exit. Eoin was such a great coach and explained everything to keep us safe (+1 for the beautiful... read more Irish accent). Such a thrill, and I would recommend it to everyone! But, enough about Eoin. The river was absolutely wild and definitely not like your typical theme park ride. There is a real danger, yes, but their guidance throughout is amazing. All possible issues and their solutions are discussed on the ground, so there are no surprises; thankfully, they didn't need to practise these in real life. The guides are super knowledgeable of the river and any possible hazards it may present. There is both a separate person in a rescue raft and a photographer on land, who are both super friendly, so we all felt safe as a movie star. Even though it was raining, I felt super warm in their supplied wetsuit. In fact, I only felt cold getting out of it. So, definitely an all-weather adventure. Don't worry about the rain. I'd much rather have some raindrops on me beforehand than drop into the river dry. Recommend 100%!
So much fun! Guides Blue, Rob and Pete were very knowledgable and always put our safety first, but made sure we had heaps of fun rafting too. Such an adrenaline... read more rush!!
Thoroughly recommend this company for an amazing adventure on the Kaituna river. Even though I was too nervous to do the waterfall, Blue made me feel very welcome and our... read more guide Rob, went out of his way to ensure I had a great time too. I was able to do the 'youth' version where I got off the raft before the waterfalls, travelled with the photographer (who turned out to be the original founder of the company with a fascinating life story - it was a real privilege to meet you Keith!) and then I jumped back into the river to join in the fun. Swimming the rapids and being dunked under a wave whilst sitting at the front of the boat was plenty enough adrenalin surge for me. Thanks to all of the staff and wishing you many more years promoting this wonderful rafting experience.
Don't bother looking at other companies, just do yourself a favour and book with Kaituna Cascades. I have rafted the Kaituna with this company twice now, 10 years apart. Both... read more experiences were equally excellent. They run a consistent slick operation. Being within walking distance from the put-in spot means you spend more time where you want to be, on the water, rather than in a van. This company surely knows how to maximise the river to give you the best possible experience. Guides are great. Our guide, Sam, was simply outstanding. I would hate to think how many times he guided this trip yet his enthusiasm made us feel as though it was still very fresh for him and he was getting as much enjoyment as us. His skill, encouragement to get his clients to extend their boundaries, great sense of humour, a desire to give us the best experience possible makes him the ideal person for this job. Well done Kaituna Cascades.
Absolutely awesome, everything about it Pete and Blue were fantastic, friendly and highly experienced, the river was amazing, the waterfalls were unreal , can't recommend this... read more company higher , they were just brilliant, thank you lads
