Fantastic

Great experience. The staff are very professional. Equipment is appropriate and in very good condition. Tuition and safety is clearly communicated. The interpersonal skills of guides is a key feature....they take time to engage and inform, maintaining interest and engendering confidence and trust. Adrenaline flows and excitement is paramount. The Maori cultural elements add huge value to the overall experience.

Amazing White Water Adventure

Big thanks to the team at Kaitiaki Adventures for a fun filled thrill adventure. We felt safe in the hands of Captain Jack as he guided us down the river and through some hectic rapids. Highly recommend and would definitely put my hand up to do it again :-)
