This rafting trip on the Wairoa River near Tauranga lasts about five hours and covers the Kaituna Cascades, including the bottom three rapids and the lower waterfall. You will navigate through several challenging sections, starting with 'Mothers Nightmare,' a technical grade 4+ rock garden that ends with a 2 meter waterfall. Next is 'The Rollercoaster,' a long series of bouncing rapids that provide continuous whitewater action. The route continues with 'The Waterfall,' featuring a 3 meter drop into a turbulent pool. After that, you will raft through approximately 4 kilometers of grade 3 and 4 rapids and waterfalls within the Wairoa River's boulder-filled canyon. The trip finishes with a 5 meter cliff jump available for those who want to take the leap. The company provides wetsuits, booties, fleece tops, and splash jackets for the trip.
