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

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.
