White water rafting in Rotorua, New Zealand - home to the highest commercially rafted waterfall

Testimonials

• Dear Kylee Stevens, We would most definitely recommend your company Raftabout and Sledgeabout , www.raftabout .co.nz to all our families, friends and anyone looking for a great adventure. Our group had the time of our lives on one of your excursions. We felt very comfortable with the guides who led the rafts. It turns out a couple of them were transplant Americans-now we understand why they chose their new life style. The river was lush with tropical flora forming a canopy over the water. Drifting down the river was like a journey back into time with tree ferns and palms giving a prehistoric flavor to the surroundings. The water was clear, cool, but reasonably comfortable, which was important, as we got plenty wet. Careful attention was provided by our guides to afford safety for everyone onboard. Detailed instructions were given to cover any adverse accidents. The guides were patient even with the novice rafters. Most important, they were having a good time themselves, which was contagious to everybody on the trip. I was disappointed that I could not bring my cameras along-but I can understand why now. But not to worry, the professional photographers took amazing action photos documenting each step of the trip. The sequence of photos going down Tutea Falls was particularly awesome. Trust me, no one else could have gotten such detailed, sharp pictures. For the future rafters, be sure to purchase the CD of your trip, it’s an outstanding value. The photographer is to be commended for a tremendous job. We have had great times sharing these photos with our friends, relatives, and even strangers. It is wonderful to be able to relive the experience over and over again through these photos. Sincerely, Don Ho San Francisco, California

• hey hey there Stevo and co. Greetings from the land of the mighty Franklin!! Probebly a long shot but i thought I'd try it now I'm home...it's Nick from Hobart here, if you remember me, sweet. Just wanted to give you and your family + friends + company a big THANKYOU for creating one of the most memorable days of my trip and to let you know I rekon your one top guy!! You guys provided everything expected from a tourist company and more, what sticks in my mind was when we waited for that group of folks coming from auckland for the day, apologising to the rest of us even though we all understood. It really ended up being one of the highlights of my trip i've told many people about back home! Be safe but sain!!!! peace, Nick

• 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.
