Dan the man!! Cheers for the awesome review guys, so glad you enjoyed your trip out here :)
Well organised super friendly crew
Cheers Team!!
Great experience.
Thank you for the five stars!!
We couldn't fault the Kaituna Cascades white water rafting company. The trip was full of adventure and loads of fun. Our guide Josh was a good bloke and made us feel safe. The only issue we had is that the trip ended. We could have rafted all day long. Would 100% recommend this company to anyone.
Thank you for your awesome review team, we are so glad you enjoyed your trip out here on the river with us!! Cheers, Cascades Crew
This was an extraordinary whitewater experience, and the company is super professional, friendly, safety-oriented and fun. Highly recommended.
Cheers for the awesome review team!!
