2018 Annual Conference Optional Activity - White Water Rafting
This tour takes on three waterfalls, including the highest commercially rafted waterfall in the world. You will be paddling through the pristine heart of the best rafting region in New Zealand – Okere, Rotorua. Set amongst the sub-tropical rainforest this spectacular 2.0 - 2.5 hour experience provides all the gear you need, initial training and around 50mins on the water. Enjoy a thrilling mix of dropping down three waterfalls, pushing through 14 rushing rapids and paddling through calm waters of recovery where you can look back in awe at what you have achieved. The Kaituna Waterfall Experience is suitable for nature lovers to adventurous first timers and total thrill seekers.
The area is steeped in Māori history and you will learn about the history and caves used as the burial ground for Chief Tutea – hence the naming of the mighty waterfall, the Tutea Falls.
