Rafting New Zealand Reviews 

I had never been rafting before and I chose Rafting New Zealand at Turangi as it was advertised as a grade 2/3 and family friendly with no experience required. And it was exactly that. I was very nervous but all the guides are great at making it sound fun and putting you at ease. Our guide was Jess, and it turned out she had only recently qualified but you would never have known. She oozed fun and confidence. Seemed to know exactly what she was doing and told stories and chatted to us along the way. All good and I would probably do it again. Thank you Rafting New Zealand.

We went on the family rafting trip. Our ages ranged between 70 years old down to 5 years old. Everyone of us had a blast. Our guide Jess was fantastic. Couldn't rate this highly enough. We will be back!!!!

What a fantastic experience! Laughed out loud all the time. Very professional without taking the fun out of the experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent morning of fun, Gabe our guide was fantastic and great fun, very well organised and professional

A lot of fun, and very professional. Highly recommended.

Fabulous! Great fun, stunning scenery, excellent guide (Jessie). Very professional outfit. Highly recommended

This was an excellent tour. The guides/staff were all fabulous and it was a lot of fun

I am a Travel Agent in Australia and on my recent trip to NZ, I was excited to experience the grade 3 afternoon rafting trip with my family. We all loved it and especially my young nephews who were given lots of encouragement by the guides! I now also have confidence in recommending this fabulous rafting trip to my clients in Australia!

5stars, great friendly service, super organised and clean, stunning scenery and lots of fun. Yes, yes, yes.

Amazing guides that were knowledgeable and safe! Thanks for the memories.

Great tour. Guides really love their jobs and take great care. Highly recommended.

Can't get better.

Awesome information sharing, the safety of an excellent standard and a highly recommended experience

Great time! Good family fun. We had fun cliff jumping as well as rafting the class three rapid.

We went as a work group with various levels of confidence to do this and the team at Rafting NZ were amazing and very supportive. The adventure was great and left us all wanting more and to do it again. We would all highly recommend Jess and Jessie (our instructors/guides) you'll be in great hands.

FAMILY FUN,GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR US ALL A+

From the moment you arrive you're greeted with a big friendly smile,the shop has an awesome vibe and the staff are amazing! We had a group of 17 and decided to do the family rafting trip,our group ranged in ages from 4yrs old to mid 60's.This trip was perfect for all of us.After being dressed in all our safety gear which I'll add keeps you nice and warm in the fresh cool water,we headed out on the bus to our location. Pianika was very knowledgeable with the history of the area and it was great to listen to the Maori myths and legends.The environment is breathtaking,exactly what you would expect and more.Our 3 guides (we had 3 rafts for our group) were next level awesome and loads of fun.The small cliff jump,chocolate fish and hot chocolate was a welcomed addition to the rafting trip and the hot shower,hotdog and beer back at base went down a treat.We highly recommend this experience and Rafting company! Keep up the great work Team

This was an excellent rafting experience- we are a family of 5 - the guide was very knowledgable and knew what he was doing -
A safe and fun time was had by all!

Honestly best experience ever. First time whitewater rafting and it will be the most memorable one thanks to our awesome guides gabe and Niguel. Had some good laughs and extremely trust worthy. Couldn’t of asked for a better day out. If you do go for a raft with them make sure you push Niguel in for a swim for Wayne Keely and Dylan from Australia.

John was our pilot for the day and made every part of the day excellent. We couldn't have asked for a better day on the river. The rest of the staff were really great too when I had some follow up questions.

We booked spontaneously in the morning for the same day (two adults, two teens). We made a mistake with our booking (didn’t book the family ticket) and wrote an email when we noticed it. The team reacted immediately and made a refund (even it was our fault), great.

The guys who steered the boats were pretty cool, explained a lot and told interesting stories about the (Maori) legends of the mountains.
All of them were very friendly, including the staff at the base.

The tour itself was really gorgeous. We booked the level 3 tour, it was our first rafting trip ever. Awesome scenery and rapids. We had amazing fun and it definitely was interesting. In our boat we had a family from Colorado, that made several rafting trips before. They were very satisfied too.

We made a three weeks tour around the North Island. Whitewater rafting with rafting New Zealand was one of our our best action activities in NZ and we really recommend it.

Good job to you guys and greetings from Germany!
