In the mood for a little adventure?

Then kick start the summer season with a 3-hour white water rafting expedition along the Kaituna river.
You’ll take on over 14 white water rapids and 3 epic waterfalls – including the legendary Tutea Falls with an impressive 7-metre drop, the world’s highest commercially rafted waterfalls in the world.

At 1,111 metres high, our mighty maunga Mount Tarawera is a dome volcano with an explosive history –with a massive eruption on June 10, 1886 that devastated the area. Today, you can visit this sacred mountain and explore its unique landscape and history on a fully guided tour with us. Ideal for all ages with an optional, exhilarating scree run into the heart of a volcanic crater.#maunga #mountain #mounttarawera #kaitiakiadventures #offthebeatentrack #neverstopexploring #adventureofalifetime #thegreatoutdoors #volcano #crater #onceinalifetime #yolo #hiking #hikingnz #tramping #trampingnz #rotoruaNZ #northisland #nz #newzealand #nzmustdo #nztravels #travelnz 📸 : @broken_limitz
