Hey - sorry for the late reply... But the combo is great for anyone fit & healthy and ready for an adventure. Your Mum sounds perfect for the trip. Always best to watch some youtube to see what your in for first though :) Hope to see the two of yo here soon

Autumn season is the best for rafting ! The weather is usually settled and the water is still warm from summer. We'll be running the combo every Sunday in March :) See you here

Thanks for your question, We take photos on the Kaitunas river as it has some veiwing platforms alongside the river where our photographer can access to get amazing photos of the rafts plunging off the waterfalls - You can buy a email link of high quality digital photos for only $40 and they are backed up for 3 years incase you loose them. We don't normally take photos on the Wairoa though as it's logistically much harder. Cheers and hope to see you on the river - The combo is an epic day out and is only $240 ! (The price of one river in Queenstown).

Hey Baz, Sorry for the late reply (was on Holiday). The Wairoa combo is epic one of the best days out. We can drive or you can self drive - which ever you prefer? January is generally our hottest month and best rafting but also busiest. Good to get in quick. The total day is around 8 hours including some chill time between rivers... The Wairoa river in the morning is about 1.5/2 hours rafting and then the Kaituna in the afternoon is about 50-60 minutes rafting. Cheers and hope to see you in January :) Pete

We have heaps of room for camper vans :) But you'll need to book with us first so you can reserve a seat and not miss out, we also need to get the right amount of guides and rafts ready for the epic rafting ! Looking forward to seeing ya soon

We don't have an age limit but we do suggest that people are fit healthy and more than anything - have good flexibility to be able to get down in the raft for the waterfalls. We have taken people in there 70's before so if ya feeling good come get it :) Cheers - Kaituna Cascades

The level of the rapids are grade 5 all year round, and the water will be around 24 degrees Celsius in February and March - it'd the best :)

It is considered level 6. We actually came off the raft going down the falls but were very well prepared on what to do by the staff. It was the highlight of our trip and we are not young. Highly recommend

Also Go pro's get broken off helmet mounts almost every time a raft flips upside down and they're expensive so chest harnesses are the way to go :)

Yeah we have all the gear to keep you warm on the river - you can have wetsuits too if you like! Normally in November the water is around 18 degrees :) In summer even warmer - up to 24-25 !
