Kaitiaki Adventures has joined forces with Helipro Helicopters and are now able to offer a white water sledging journey that is world class. Their Heli-sledge tour starts at Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley.
Imagine, the excitement of a helicopter flight while taking in the most breathtaking views from above, of Rotorua's unique volcanic landscape.
Your Helicopter pilot will take you to an isolated part of the lower stretches of the Kaituna River, where the heart-pumping Grade 5 excursion begins. The Kaitiaki crew will take you on a journey of a lifetime that delivers everything from ease of navigation to amazing untouched scenery through gorges lined with native trees, moss-clad canyons and cascading waterfalls.
World-class female kayaker Nikki Kelly says, "This is a absolutely outstanding river trip, that is challenging and truly spectacular, it is a total experience from start to finish."
Taheke Paengaroa trustee Dennis Curtis is extremely excited about their joint venture with Kaitiaki Adventures. "The Kaituna is a very special taonga of Ngati Pikiao, the people of the river, and we have great confidence that Kaitiaki Adventures will live up to their name (Kaitiaki means guardian or caretaker). With their focus on kaupapa Maori and willingness to display manaakitanga to visitors, we believe this will be a very successful business relationship."
