Rafting in Rotorua is a definite ‘must’! It is one of my all time favourite kiwi experiences, head on down there and get amongst nature with a full whack of whiter water adrenaline.

The guides of Raftabout were great fun and kept up a banter throughout. For the thrilling experience this trip is great value for money. As soon as it was over I wanted to do it all again!

Really enjoyed the rafting and sledging option. Cool, nice owner. Great experience and good deal for doing both sports in one day.

What an adventure! Had such an awesome time. The 7m waterfall was an adrenaline blast in the raft! The scenery was nice, although we were having way too much fun to notice most of it. Make sure you check out Raftabout if you're in Rotorua as it could be one of the best things you do one your holiday! Certainly one of the most memorable.
