Kaituna Cascades Rafting operates in Okere Falls in New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty, offering guided white water rafting and multi-activity trips on the region’s iconic rivers.
The company runs multiple experiences: Kaituna River Rafting, Wairoa River Rafting, a Kaituna & Wairoa Combo, and a Mud Baths & Rafting Combo. The Kaituna River Rafting trip features 14 exhilarating drops, including the spectacular 7‑metre Tutea Falls, the highest commercially rafted waterfall, with expert guides leading a 50‑minute descent through a jungle canyon suitable for adrenaline seekers and first‑time rafters. The Wairoa River Rafting experience tackles Grade 5 white water, challenging rafters with intense rapids and named features such as 'Mothers Nightmare' and the dramatic 'Waterfall' drop through narrow rock canyons. The Kaituna & Wairoa Combo pairs a morning on the Wairoa with a relaxing lunch and a descent of the Kaituna, combining high‑adrenaline rapids with the iconic waterfall run. The Mud Baths & Rafting Combo adds a local hot spring element to a rafting day. Guides on each trip provide safety briefings, steer rafts, and manage equipment to industry standards. Operations are centered at Okere Falls, giving direct river access in the Bay of Plenty. Trip durations, difficulty levels, and route highlights are clearly described for each offering to help guests choose the right experience. Kaituna Cascades Rafting emphasizes experienced guide support, proven river routes, and distinctive local attractions to deliver memorable and well-managed rafting adventures.
