Ride the Kaituna River at water level on a hands-on Rotorua sledging trip with Kiwi guides, Māori stories, transport, and rapids.
“It was so much fun to do the sledge/sledding! Sure rafting is also great but sledding is an even lore active version, where you actively steer (the sledge) by yourself. We had two great guides Andy and Caruzo who steer us safely and with tons of adrenaline (and own muscle work) thru the river. Great experience! So difference: get ON the boat - rafting Get IN the river - sledge!”

“The guides Jason, Brony and (one other guy, sorry didn’t quite catch the name) were friendly and experienced. River was quite low so we did get stuck on rocks a few time but the guides did well to get us out. Still an enjoyable experience cruising down the river and whooshing down the rapids. 10/10 would go again, hopefully when the river is higher.”

Nur wenn man es als Kombi gebucht hat, muss man sich trotzdem um beide Abholpunkte selbst kümmern. Wäre schön, wenn die Guides morgens wissen, wann und wo man mittags wieder abgeholt wird.”
