The White Water Rafting on the Kaituna Cascades in Tauranga is a two-hour rafting trip on the Kaituna River, guided by local professionals with extensive experience in rafting and kayaking. The trip takes place on a deep, mostly warm river that flows through a vertical-walled canyon featuring several raftable waterfalls and numerous rapids. Participants will navigate these cascades and rapids using custom-built rafts. All necessary equipment is included, such as wetsuits, helmets, lifejackets, paddles, fleece tops, wetsuit booties, and splash jackets. Additional gear is provided during cooler months to maintain comfort. The company operating this tour, known as The Originals, was the first to explore and start rafting the Kaituna River and remains locally owned and operated by current raft guides. The trip is available year-round from Tauranga, New Zealand. Guests must weigh under 120 kilograms, be able to swim, and expectant mothers are not permitted. Optional extras like digital photos, glasses straps, towel rentals, GoPro harness hire, and souvenirs are available for purchase but not included in the tour price.
