Get Your Buzz at Kaituna

Kaituna Cascades was the first operator to start rafting the Kaituna River way back in the early 90’s! Long time raft guide and local guru  kayaker KEITH HUGHES, started this legendary company in 1991 – Obviously only after a lot of practice runs down the formally considered  “un-raftable” river with any willing friends, family or whoever was brave enough to test it out…..!

The stoke was high, the river was unique and amazing, and it proved to be as safe as a grade 5 can be – the rest is history. Kaituna Cascades is stoked & humbled to be the # 1 rated rafting company in Rotorua on TripAdvisor.

Located in an awesome sunny riverside location, we are the Rotorua rafting specialists offering river rafting trips on the Kaituna River (Okere River), Wairoa River & the Rangitaiki River. Join us for the best white water rafting in New Zealand, and one of the top things to do in  Rotorua! Being locally owned and operated by two current raft guides – you know you’ll be in good hands.
