Based in Rotorua, New Zealand, Kaituna Cascades provide exhilarating rafting and kayaking adventures on the rivers in the surrounding Bay of Plenty region. Kaituna Cascades continue to be the best, most innovative and safest company on the river. Each time Kaituna Cascades put a raft/kayak on the water they give you the safest, most enjoyable and best-equipped river trip on offer.

It was Kaituna Cascades that founded the commercial rafting and tandem kayaking (Topos) on the Kaituna River, previously considered unrunnable!

With the world's highest commercially rafted waterfall (7 metres, 21ft) the Kaituna River is a white water enthusiast's dream come true. Flowing through an extremely steep and narrow canyon, in 50 minutes you will paddle 14 awesome drops, including two waterfalls and some great rapids. Only 15 minutes from Rotorua.
