Worth it! (Plus size travel review)
This experience was once in a life time, it was thrilling and scary but incredibly fun. Our guide was Kyle he was funny, informative, and made me feel safe despite me being quite anxious. If there's one thing you do when it rotorua, this is definitely it! Plus size travel/experience tips I include a portion regarding Plus size mobility/fitness levels in reviews as it is one of the harder things to find information about when adventuring. I contacted all 3 white water rafting places in Rotorua as I was near or just above their max weight limits (120-130kgs) Kaitiaki was the most prompt and informative in their responses (through texting their listed number not their query form on their website). When I arrived all their staff and guides were respectful, considerate, and made me feel welcome and comfortable. They use universal sized life-jackets that are relatively free size. You can choose between a wet jacket and wet suit, wetsuits are listed up to 4xl but I opted for a wet jacket which did fit me and I wear a 2xl in women's and all my fat is in my tummy/torso. For any accessibility or accommodation I would reccomend reaching out beforehand and discussing with the guide before going out how ever from a total amateur Plus size participants assessment I would say you definitely need an at least average level of fitness to participate for paddling and to be able to swim a short distance in strong currents in case you get chucked into the river (you will be aided by your lifejacket and a rope if needed) paddling can also be a little hard if you have a big tummy to paddle around but it is doable. My only further reccomendation is wearing shorts, I wore a jacket and bikini bottoms and was afraid that my pants were gonna get blown off in the rapids and this was a fear expressed by multiple of the other women rafting.

Epic must try
Really fun!! If you are nervous to try this DONT BE!! It was exciting and silly - Our guide Kyle took such good care of us (lots of banter along the way). Would do again 10 times over.

Nice short rafting experience
It was a cool experience and the rafting lasts around 45 minutes only. Does not require much effort and we only rowed for some very short periods as you constantly have to stop and wait for other rafts.
