Experience here was better than expected. Started out well before we'd even arrived as we called up a couple of times at unsociable hours to leave a message with questions for someone to get back to us, and to my surprise someone answered the phone at 10pm!. We did the daytime kayak across the lake to the hot pools. Our guide Justin was friendly and knowledgeable and all the gear we needed was provided on site. He told us all about the history of the local area as part of the tour too, which was nice. I had anticipated that going in winter would be cold it was 6 degrees out, but actually found it quite warm after I start paddling hard and ended up with just a single layer on for the return trip. The hot pools were nice and he also showed us inside a cave with glow worms on the way back. Overall, very enjoyable and I'd do it again.
Superb experience from start to finish! Though time on the river was only about 45 minutes, the guides kept us engaged and entertained throughout, sharing snippets of Māori culture and history about the land, flora and fauna. We did the Grade 5 Kaituna River route with them and it was so much fun. You get to go down a 7m waterfall, the highest commercially rafted waterfall in the world! They made us feel sufficiently prepped and reassured, while keeping everyone psyched. They also have a few tricks up their sleeves to keep it interesting leading up to that 7m drop and even after. River Rats also has a roving photographer who captures some great action shots — it cost us an additional NZD49 to get them, which is a bit on the pricey side but still reasonable given the effort, skill and coordination required. Memories for a lifetime! Would highly recommend anyone coming to Rotorua to raft with River Rats.
Originally booked rafting for one day and kayaking for the next day, but unbeknownst to us the river was going to be flooded the next day. They contacted us to rearrange our booking and we were able to do both activities that same day - even when we were the only ones rafting. Justin and his crew were super personable, and it was a fantastic adventure throughout the whole day. Didn't get a sunset on the lake due to the weather, but that detracted nothing from the overall experience. And Justin's local knowledge and stories were great to listen to. Definitely intend on coming back here again next visit to Rotorua!!
Had a great time rafting with my best friend at rangitaiki with Justin he was knowledgeable about the area and funny. The gear we wore were comfortable and warm. Would definitely do another rafting trip again in the future
Went on the sunset kayak and dinner trip with Justin. Absolutely perfect trip! Rotoiti was beautiful to kayak on and the hotpools were clean, well maintained, super warm and also enjoyed the pontoon and slide into the lake to cool off! Justin was a friendly and knowledgeable host, told great stories about the area, and cooked a good summery bbq steak dinner! The highlight was the kayak back at sunset. The lake was like glass and so warm. The glow worm caves were beautiful and it was amazing how much they responded to sound, making them glow more! 100% recommend River Rats to all travelling through Rotorua! 22 years in the industry and it shows. Will be back for more trips soon! Worth every penny!
My wife little boy and I did a session on the Rangitikei river with Justin and it was fantastic. Justin made the trip fun engaging and safe which has my little guy ready for another session. Stopped in at some beautiful spots down the river that you would just never get to see otherwise, jumped in the water and floated down a few rapids, even the little guy who's 7!. If you are looking for a fun session on the river I'd highly recommend booking with River Rats, we'll certainly be back for more!
Absolutely amazing! Our guide Dave was so great, felt really safe the whoel time! Has a blast!
AMAZING! We rafted the Kaituna River on the weekend as a team building event for work and it was such a success. We are already planning a return trip! Justin and Ant were great guides and made us feel relaxed rather than too nervous! Beautiful scenery, loads of fun and a great buzz. Highly recommend these guys. And amazing photos, this one sums it up perfectly!
What an amazing experience. I have previously rafted this river with another company and River Rats were definitely the best. They had a photographer follow us along the river giving us some truly epic instagram content! If you have not rafted this river put it on your list now!
We did the kayak trip. A fantastic experience I highly recommend. Loved the actual kayaking to the hot pools which was a welcome destination. Justin our guide looked after us well with a yummy barbeque. The trip back via glow worm cave was idyllic. We are in our 60s and it was very doable. Weren't pressured to go fast. Just enjoyed every moment. It got cold as the evening wore on but we were provided with warm gear. Take extra layers if you feel the cold. Base layers a good idea.
