Safety Information: Rafting on the Kaituna River is an exhilarating
adventure with inherent risks, including natural river hazards, potential raft
flips, and rapidly changing weather. Rotorua Rafting operates in compliance
with Work Safe Adventure Activity Regulations 2024 and prioritizes your
safety. Our expert guides are here to ensure an unforgettable, safe
experience, but please note that this is a real river with real risks. Rafts
may flip, and, on rare occasions, participants may sustain injuries, often
from paddles or not following instructions to tuck chins at waterfalls. All
participants will be required to sign a risk disclosure form upon check-in,
which you can review in advance here. We appreciate your cooperation in
following all guide instructions for a safe, thrilling journey.
