Yesterday I went on my first grade 5 white water rafting experience with Kaituna Cascades, and I loved it so much that I booked again to go today!
Honestly the most fun I have had and I just had to do it again before I flew home (I am tempted to book again for tomorrow and go 3 for 3 haha).
My guide, Ethan, was fantastic yesterday and so I chose to go with him again today and he did not disappoint. He was friendly, fun and knowledgeable and we all had a great time laughing and joking about falling out (and then we did haha). Because of the thorough safety introduction and the quality gear that was provided, I felt perfectly at ease throughout.
Blue in the kayak was incredible, weaving in and out of the rapids and going down the falls before us so he could assist if required.
The guides, the photographer and the office staff were all so lovely, helped each other and us out, and had the best personalities.
The photos were incredible, so well priced and you get a heap of them!
I don’t think I have smiled or laughed that much before and if I had it my way, I’d do it again every single day.
Thanks so much Kaituna Cascades. I will definitely be back in NZ again and when I am, I will 1000% book with you again
I’m already looking at planning my next white water rafting trip with Kaituna Cascades, and I’ve only been back from my last one for a short few hours
