Reviews of Tongariro River Rafting
B. B.The young adults running the show are fun and respectful. Well done team! The experience was so good I did the grade 2 trip on Tuesday and the grade 3+ trip on Wednesday. Fantastic views on the water!! Well done team as Jess our tour leader says.
M. S.Fantastic morning out with Mitch and the team. We did the Family rafting as we have a 3 and 6 year old. Both boys loved it...and it wasn't boring as we had feared! Just enough rapids to keep them interested and Mitch kept them engaged - allowing us to stand up through some, go backwards and do donuts on others. Awesome experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to other families with young kids.
1.This was one of the best experiences I have done in a long time. Value for money for sure. Our guide Mitch went above and beyond in my opinion, he was fun, knowledgeable and you could tell how much he enjoys and love his job. Will definitely be coming back.
K. S.Had the best time on our rafting trip. Me and my daughter did the family float and my husband and son did the white water rafting. Both tours were great options with informative friendly guides, with lots of fun along the way!
Y. S.We had awesome experience in Tongariro River with Rafting team with excellent team. Kids really enjoyed it and learned how to sit on raft, danger, sweet spots on the river, volcanoes surrounding river.
Highly recommend to everyone to try one time in life.
E. J.Great rafting, beautiful scenery, Gypsy (guide) was hysterical. Will definitely be back to do the grade 4 next time.
k.We were a party of 8.
The Best guide is Johnny. Friendly and Full of stories of the area.
The Other guide Jack gave no information of the whole time and we were surprised.
Where was our hot chocolate and treats? We got none at all!
T. M.Awesome morning adventure! Family Float Rafting... Loved every thing about it, Mitch was very informative during our rafting, learnt new things along the way, we even got to paddle more than a few times which was really good, fun and exciting for the three of us that had never been on the river!
Totally recommend, we are now thinking about a "next time" up the anti as such...
Great work team, we enjoyed our time immensly.
Thanks :))
J. K.Went with our kids, 8 and 13, on the Family Float and truly enjoyed a fun filled morning. Fabulous guide, great gear and lots of enthusiasm. Must do and we will be back for the Grade3 once back!
Thanks Team for a great day out.
M. C.An experience not to be missed. Our river guide, Mitch, expertly guided us for over two hours on the water through 50+ rapids! Amongst our most highly rated outdoor experiences in NZ!
L. K.Would highly recommend to anyone. Great team, super helpful and the our guide was extremely experienced, super friendly and fun. Our family had a great time. Thank you Tongariro River Rafting!
R.We did the family trip in December 2021 and it was excellent. Such a beautiful, pristine environment and we saw whio. We had an awesome guide, Hec, who made us (adults plus 13yo and 9yo) feel safe and prepared for our first rafting trip and made it really fun. And a brilliant team at TRR who went above and beyond looking after a special item for us while we adventured. Thanks guys!
P. V. H.Absolutely incredible afternoon! Harry was a superb guide with a wicked sense of humour. The rapids were the perfect amount of thrilling but not terrifying. 😄
L.Awesome time rafting. Awesome instructors which taught us how to raft very well, were very knowledgable and made sure that we got soaked in the rapids. Awesome company with good instructors would defiantly recommend. Johnny was a great instructor
H.Went on a family rafting and we all had a good time. Our guide (Johnny) was awesome with the boys. I definitely recommend it. I would definitely repeat. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was because when I looked on web page the information said we would get digital photos and a 360° video included in price and we only got group pictures taken at the end and no video. We had a sports camera with us but we left it in our car by mistake, we didn't worry thinking that we's get some action pictures and the videos.. a shame. They could have warned us beforehand so wr got our camera.
M.Epic scenery. The rafting is professionally run and Harry is so committed and makes the teamwork so satisfying for me.
Highly recommended.
(and sorry for being late...)
S. E.What a place to make memories with your family. Wonderful New Zealand river with great white water to keep the adrenalin flowing while you take in sime fabulous views. Great time and I would recommend them to everyone. Great guides who are personable , professional ....shout out to Evan our guide for a great day out.
S. K.What a great experience! Totally awesome. Amazing scenery. Beautiful wildlife. And the rapids are a blast. Our guides Justin and Mitch were fantastic.
R.Fantastic day on the river with my family. Really professional crew and made the experience excellent. A great afternoon of fun.
J.Went on a school rafting trip with my daughter and her class. We were looked after really well by professional and fun staff. Such a beautiful journey even in the rain. Will be back for a family trip!
P. &. B. W.A fun-filled, exhilarating way to see stunning NZ scenery. Very safety conscious guides who share their local knowledge. Absolutely a must-do, even for the water-challenged.
T. B.Brilliantly run operation. Fantastic guides with excellent equipment and knowledge. We rafted the July school holidays, mid winter and had an awesome time and stayed warm with the gear we were kitted out in. We did the Grade 3 as a party of 2 adults and 3 children and we all had a blast with it being the highlight of our holiday!!
M.Awesome. Highly recommended. I enjoyed it a lot, my teenagers and young kid were very happy. If you are passing by them, don’t miss it.
J.What an awesome thing to do with the family. Our guide Mitch was outstanding. We all had an epic time. Cheers team!
A. S.Heaps of fun, very professional team felt safe all throughout the trip. Great sites and trip was a 10 out of 10. Thanks to our guide Jess who was an absolute champion!
J. D.We had to cancel our plans for the Tongariro Crossing at the last minute due to bad weather but Tongariro River Rafting saved our holiday! Such an awesome experience. My daughter was so scared and even cried for the first few minutes but Brayden was really great and finally got her comfortable. She ended up really enjoying the experience. We'll definitely do this again!
B. L.We hire the bike and went for a good ride. Stunning views and absolutely gem. Ladies from the counter was very welcoming with beautiful smile. Well worth to visit
R. S.We loved the Family Float. It was a really great introduction for the kids with a good balance of excitement and relaxing to look at the scenery - we got to see a pair of blue ducks and hear about the conservation project to protect them. Our guide was entertaining and informative - we rated him 6 out of 5 stars 😉
L. A.Fantastic outfit and worth every dollar. Great equipment, awesome guides, jokes galore and overall one of the best things to do around here. Even in winter the problem wasn’t being too cold, it was being too hot with the thermal gear they give you.
C. A.A great afternoon spent rafting along the Tongariro River. Eventhough it was raining it was still a great experience, great for the whole family as its a bit scarey at some points and very gentle at others, great instructions from Nick our guide and good chat if you end up going alone like i did, still an enyoyable experience. We also got a nice chocolate fish and hot chocolate along the way which was well needed. Then when you're back to base they feed you with a good spread of cold meats, cheese and salad sandwiches as well as tea and coffee, what more could you want? :)
M. R. V. I.Absolute legends. My kids are 8yrs & 10. It was their first time doing white water rafting & they LOVED IT! The team at TRR are attentive, professional & make the experience alot of fun. We will be back!
F. W.We only took the ebikes out for half a day. We had an awesome day out on the bikes. I recommend hiring if your not really into biking. They are so easy to ride. The Tongario River Track however, is not for the faint hearted. Great track but if heights is your weakness, probably not for you.
K. K.Great we had a 8 year old and the family raft was great starter he’s keen to come back in a couple years for the grade 3. Jess was a great guide 🤩
S. R.Staff is INCREDIBLY nice. The views while rafting were amazing. After we were done. We didn’t have enough! We decided to go biking and which they ended up gifting to us for free. I’m not sure if that’s what they already do but it was my boyfriends birthday so it was a very special treat.
D. S.What an amazing day. We were a bit worried about how Mr 5 and Miss 9 would take it but they absolutely loved it! The family rafting of grade 2 rapids was perfect! Justin was an amaIng guide and we were in safe hands. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
S. S.An incredibly professional and friendly rafting company, arguably perfect for your first rafting experience. It's a very technical section of the river which you raft for over two hours, so you will learn some great new skills.
I will say that the nearby Kaituna River is better if you want a shorter rafting trip with a serious shot of adrenaline (the water equivalent of a rollercoaster), but if you want a chance to enjoy the beautiful landscape around you with literally dozens of smaller rapids, these are definitely the guys and girls to go with on the Tongariro River.
If my review and photos were helpful for you, please give me a thumbs up 👍🏼 Thanks!
G. &. S. W.What a fantastic day and an Oarsome experience. We booked as a treat for our work team to say thank you for all their hard work and had the best experience ever. All of our Team finished wet, exhilarated and with huge cheesy grins at the experience we just had. With a fantastic guide in Rennie and awesome scenery to fantastically huge trout lots of fun rapids. I can definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to give rafting a try. Finished the day with a warm up at the hot pools and then the best home made tomato soup and bread before heading home. Well done guys and thanks for an awesome trip. Will definitely be coming back for more.
J. F.A very professional company. We had a great guide who knew how to manage a diverse group such as ours. The mountain bike track was very tricky for beginners. The lunch was a delicious sandwich with snack bars and hot drinks. The river rafting was fun and our guide had good knowledge of the rapids and the river. We would recommend this trip to others.
J.This was by far the best White Water Rafting we have done comparing to one we did in Canada. Grade 3 rapids so was pretty wicked.
I.Great experience made even better by the guide Harry. Keeping it fun and interesting.
B. R.My extended family (10 of us) came along and had an awesome day. My raft had Gypsy and he was great! We felt super safe and comfortable while also having a fun time. They provided hot drinks and chocolate fish half-way through as well as soup and bread when we returned which was really top-notch and a nice surprise! Can't recommend enough :)
S. G.100% Highly recommended.
We had a fantastic time with our guide Justin. He is very experienced and knowledgeable guide as well as full of passion in water rafting. We did cliff jump, boat spin and "fly" on the rock. Lol.
And we hire a bike from them after the water rafting for the Tongariro River Trail, they provide a good quality bike and the trail rides was so pleasant.
Thanks to the young pretty lady from the reception (forgot to ask her name) for all the info and bike hire, and thanks for the yummy sandwich and hot drink after the water rafting.
C. T.Our family had an awesome trip out with Tongariro River Rafting yesterday. A very professional and well run activity from start to finish. Our rafting guide, Gypsy, was brilliant. A very enjoyable and thrilling day out. Highly recommended.
S.Garth and the team at Tongariro River Rafting are extremely professional and provide a world class experience...an amazing and inspiring day out on a breathtakingly beautiful river.
B. #.It has been a factastic experience. We could not imagine such a smooth, safe but thrilling experience. Must appreciate and acknowledge each member of the TRR team with a special mention of Dan, our navigator and guide.
D.I can highly recommend this.
The guides made sure it was an awesome day. My teenage kids commented that we have to do it again!
J.What a great trip! Great guide, great rapids, and the hot soup was a great way to warm up afterwards. A real must do rafting trip when you get the chance!
D. L.We rented bikes and did grade 3 rafting with TRR.
Biking: The 16km river ride starting in Turangi took us a little over 2 hours with our kids. It was a wee challenge for our youngest (8 years old) but we finished and had fun. You can do shorter lengths if you wanted too. The bikes were all in good shape, with front suspension.
Rafting: we had a lot of fun on the adult grade 3 (leaving our 8 year old with mum!). It’s a great experience all round with good, friendly service and reliable equipment. It’s not a scary or challenging river for most people, but it was super enjoyable.
T. S.A fun, happy and safe experience. It's my first ever water rafting and felt very nervous at the beginning. Our guide Mitch is very gentle and knowledgeable. He guided us through the rapids smoothly and I start enjoying the activities soon after. Crystal clear water views all the way. Awesome way to explore our beautiful back country. Love the free photos, professionally taken. Definitely worth the money.
Y.Hired Bikes from here on a nice sunny day on 01 august for the 8 of us. The bikes were in Excellent condition, the place is quite close to starting point of the river track, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of the gear. Responded quickly to my phone inquiry. Would highly recommend.
A. F.What a ride!! Completely loved our rafting trip today and we all left with smiles on our faces. The whole experience was brilliant and one I'd recommend to everyone. Our guide Braden was great fun and the kid's were well looked after 😊 thanks for a fun trip!
E.Awesome family adventure, thanks to the super friendly staff and experienced guide! Perfect for younger kids!
P.Great experience, I have done their level 3 rafting twice now.
L.Excellent trip with really friendly, helpful and professional guides. Had a great day, thanks to Nick and we're now hooked. Company really seem to care about their customers. Even laid on a spread when we got back to the office!
F.We had such a fun time River Rafting! An adventure for the whole family. They where knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We felt really safe with the equipment and the instructor was great!! We highly recommend the experience and Tongariro River Rafting!
D.We were a medium size group. The employees who took us out greeted us warmly, conducted themselves professionally, and provided us with an experience that everyone enjoyed thoroughly. I wouldn't normally take part in an activity like this again, but if I had the option I would definitely return to Tongariro River Rafting.
M. H.My brother and I took our 84 year old father raft fishing with Garth Oaken on the 16th December 2017. We had the best day ever, the fishing was world class with 7 trout caught and released and many strikes.
Every part of the day was special, Garth looked after us so well from explaining all sorts of interesting facts about the river and surrounding areas as well as giving us the best raft fishing experience you could ask for. I totally recommend this trip for all ages...
Matt Holden
V. P.We booked a group of us to do the Family River Rafting and it was so much fun! The kids absolutely enjoyed it as well as the adults. The team were so lovely, very professional, kind and helpful. Everything went super smoothly and we had such a fun time! Would so recommend it to everyone.
M.Awesome rafting! Thanks to our guide Mitchell! Had an awesome time ☺️

T.Great experience. Felt very safe. Guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend.
K. B.Highly recommended. Professional, fun experience. We had a great day with Rene! The river was rocky and technical and he navigated it perfectly. And we really enjoyed participating in and supporting their Blue Duck conservation program. They feed you before you take off, cover you in plenty of gear to keep you warm, provide you with treats and hot chocolate mid-trip, and sandwiches upon return. Every single employee we interacted with was extremely nice and helpful.
R. C.Great trip on the waters today, perfect weather was well. The experience had a very personal touch to it. The guides were all very experienced and friendly. Really had a great afternoon!
B. B.From the very beginning TRR was excellent to work with, our experience with them was exceptional. Quick to respond, very efficient, helpful in all aspects especially as we had a large group, then made the actual trip unforgettable as well with an incredible team of staff
P. A. O. H.Was a great experience with awesome people from the pick up to the drop off with Braydon we had really interesting and funny chat, when we arrived Jess was incredibly welcoming.

C.Tongariro River Rafting Team are amazing our guide Justin is one of a kind made us feel welcome, safe and talked us through all the safety requirements alongside being humorous which made the experience even more enjoyable. Furthermore, Danger makes great hot chocolate during the trip and soup to round off. Overall, the whole experience was awesome. Highly recommend thank you Tangariro Rafting Team.
M.A great thing to do if near Tongariro or Taupo and would highly recommend. Wasn’t at all scary and am keen to do more rafting now. Really professional and knowledgeable staff and our guide Mitch has a lot of good stories. They also sent us photos which we hadn’t expected as a nice bonus.
C. K.We had a great time out on the river. Our guide Brandon was great with the kids 7 and 10 and did a great job reassuring them when they were nervous at the the start and on the first few rapids we all had a great time throughout the whole trip. I would highly recommend doing this trip all the staff were friendly and helpful.
J. B.Thank you to the team at TRR. Our family had heaps of fun on our first rafting trip. Johnny our guide was really helpful and we watched the 360 video and the photos which had some great shots and memories of our trip together. A fantastic day out.
B.This is our second time on the rapids, we went for the grade 4 dam release this time, so much fun! Our guide Henry was the good sort! If you're considering rafting, go ahead and book it you won't regret it! See you next time TRR!
C.Was a mean day out on the water cheers guys is a must do if you up these ways edit can't walk the day after have to stay off my feet for the next one to two weeks rock to the ankle well worth it thanks to the tour guide to was a good time will be back one day
E. K.The experienced guide made it a very enjoyable and exciting experience. We also learned about the blue duck projekt and even had some hot chocolate on the way.
C. L.Fantastic experience! First time rafting with 2 kids so we chose the family rafting. Great fun! Not cold at all even though it was in the middle of winter. Our guide Finn was funny and energetic and helpful, kids loved him! Would definitely recommend and come back for more experience in the future.
S.We did the overnight stay and what a fantastic experience! My 16 year old son, 13 and 11 year old daughters had a blast. Renae and Mitch were our guides and we could have not asked for a better crew. Staff were so enthusiastic to show us the raw beauty of the river and Turangi we would thoroughly recommend it. The patience, attention to detail, preparation and food was spectacular. A once in a lifetime opportunity. Thanks team we have been telling all our friends.
B.Tongariro River Rafting is so much fun. The guides are really knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had a fantastic time. You can do this activity in any weather. Scenery is beautiful.
D.We did the blue duck conservation raft trip with Evan and Dan. A once in lifetime experience, with great guides on a beautiful river. The Blue Ducks stole the show and we assisted with checking the traps to increase the odds that the Blue ducks will survive and thrive. The water is class three and provides a wild but safe ride. 5+ stars.
G. C.HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHT!!!
Loved the people - awesome owners & all the guides were super fun & so professional, great gear all included, felt safe every step of the way, a magic experience all round - stunning scenery, perfect family entertainment, delicious winter soup - this was definitely our highlight for the school holidays, also the bonus extras with amazing photos, video, hot pools & bike ride. All under the one roof, I would absolutely recommend this for all ages!! AMAZING!! ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!
H.Angus & Justin made our experience unforgetable! Thank you the whole team for making this last-minute booking adventure happened. The kids absolutely enjoyed the ride. Thank you again & See you next summer Angus!
M. H.I had such a great time on my first white water rafting trip. The staff were all so friendly and knowledgeable . My guide was Rene and he kept us safe, shared interesting information about the river, and really put me at ease because I was feeling pretty nervous. They provided all the necessary gear in a variety of sizes to fit all body types. Rene said that in the past he’s had groups that didn’t speak English. Also there were people who came solo, but folks are friendly so it’s easy to make friends on this trip. They really try to accommodate different medical conditions. Our time on the river was equal parts exciting and peaceful. It felt like such a privilege to see parts of the river that usually aren’t easily accessible any other way. This tour company did a really great job taking care of my friend and I. I highly recommend white water rafting with them.
B. K.Such great value in so many ways! Brandon was our guide and he was so reassuring to the kids 7, 10 keeping them happy and entertained. We saw many endangered Whio blue ducks, fantail and trout. Was winter but we were all rugged up warm so don't be put off by the time of the year. Such a beautiful river, great way to explore it.
We then took the mountain bikes out for a fab afternoon, swam at the hot pools under the stars and topped off by reviewing the fun photos=what a package! Thanks team for such a fun day.
S. B.We had such an amazing time! Our guide Jimmy was great! He made us all at ease and was very knowledgeable. All of the staff were super friendly. Even if you've never been rafting before, I highly recommend Tongariro River rafting! A must do if you are in the Taupo area!
T.Such friendly staff and they knew absolutely all the right things to keep us nervous ones calm and we all enjoyed the bike ride and rafting trip. Would easily recommend as a must do with all the gear provided for you.
J.Awesome afternoon on the river with Sara, our fantastic guide. Lots of thrills and fun. Very organized team at Tongariro River Rafting. Highly recommended, thanks for the memories. 😁👍👍👍👍
C.Amazing team and lovely staff! I felt safe all the time. This people know what they are doing :) Well organised and all the activities on time.
Our rafting instructor Sarah was awesome!! 🌸🙌
Highly recommended.
A. K.My group of 5 had the best time! For 3 of them it was their first time rafting and they couldn't of been more impressed with our guide Stu's knowledge and how fun he made the trip! Thank you so much for making our trip to NZ so memorable with this!
I. R.Awesome trip! It's an amazing and worthy experience! Our guide Jess really make it all the way through! Strongly recommended for everyone! Thinking about bringing my parents next time. 😁
D.Our guide Jesse was awesome. Heaps of fun
M. A.Such good fun we had a big group (17) and they fit us in and managed us well. All the instructors were great and and super knowledgeable about the river and area treated to some hot choc and sandwiches after. Would definitely recommend!
N.Great experience for a bunch of teenage kids and a couple of Dads - perfect mix of fun and adventure and our guide Rene was fantastic and a total crack up. Some nice touches with on-board hot chocolate and a post-trip feed. Definitely recommend this one!
R.The tour was fantastic and our guide was great and liked to chat with us. He made it a great and unforgettable fun experience! Also, they always kept an eye on safety. Unfortunately, the whole video didn't turn out good (the camera ankle was not correct...) - but that's the only point I would change during the rafting trips.
Thank you and see you next time in NZ!
S.Awesome day out rafting last weekend. The photos and videos were great and the guides were really good fun. Trip was long enough that we felt tired afterwards :)
C. B.Brilliant! Enjoyed this wonderful river along with experienced guides who gave insight on the area, talked about the history of the river, and told sadly hilarious jokes. Had complementary hot chocolate and chocolate fishes on the river, and free sandwiches after rafting. They offer wetsuits, shoes and fleeces so no need to worry about bringing your own kit, apart from your swimwear. The guides give you full information on what to do when capsized or other such things, and put safety of their customers first. Thank you!
P. &. S. D.What a fabulous family friendly trip. We had such fun. Miss 8 was a bit nervous to begin with, but our lovely guide Braydon turned her around and she loved it. Thanks team.
I. G.Such a friendly and helpful crew, we had a great day out! and they we're lovely and accommodating to our 8 and 4 year olds. My kids absolutely loved it, and we enjoyed while feeling very safe.
We also did the bike ride and they had a lovely service and helped us with everything we needed.
s. d.Drew our guide was fabulous! Such a nice guy. Highly professional and very experienced. Highly recommend the family float for first timers! Being a big girl I was stressing about not being able to fit into the wet suits! Wasted my time, had a wetsuit for any shape! Such nice people and made me feel so comfortable. Kids loved it so much. If we weren’t leaving town tomorrow we would be back to try stage 3! A+++
J. M.This was a fantastic adventure! Absolutely worth the time and money. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and made it a great experience. Some of the people on our tour had never rafted before and she was able to guide them through it just fine. Good for any skill level but a very enjoyable river for those with more experience as well. I believe it's class 3 to 4. The company provides gear to keep you warm, so don't worry about that. There is also a place in the facilities to change, store your items, etc.
K. F.I would give 6/5, if that would be possible. We had an absolutely amazing time, definitely would come back again! Our guides (Tau and Mel) and all of the others were very nice, friendly, funny and welcoming. Had a hot chocolate while floating in the water - the best ever!
Absolutely stunning views of the landscape. The tongariro river is really beautiful. And the best: You don't even need to have experience in rafting before you go, there is no need to be afraid. :-)
M.We hired an e-Mountain bike - the bike was awesome, and the guys were happy to meet us slightly out of normal hours to accommodate our arrangements. Great service. Cheers
R.Participated in a group race in November 2020. A great experience, well organized, with knowledgeable and friendly guides and hosts. Highly recommended.
F. R.The trr family float is brilliant! We had so much fun on a trip with Johnny in January that my son treated me to a second trip for my birthday in March. Drew was an excellent guide and we had the raft to ourselves too! Our son loved the jump into the river as well:) Highly recommend!
A. M.Had an awesome morning rafting down the Tongariro river with our guide Shania.
Very good fun. Mason loved surfing down the rapids, stood on top of the boat.
Thanks for a great morning of wet fun!
V. S.Can't recommend these guys and gals enough! We started our day renting mountain bikes, and took a lovely 2-hour ride along the river nearby. Then our family went on a very memorable white water rafting adventure! Garth and his team were very knowledgeable, engaging, and hilarious. I also really appreciated the conservation work by this team, keeping the local wildlife and scenery thriving.
A.Beautiful experience, we had an amazing time. Jess, our guide, was the nicest and gave us a very personalised tour. I highly recommend! A hot shower at the end would have been nice, but otherwise the excursion was perfect. Thank you guys!
Y.Came with 5 other people. Great trip, felt safe. Rene was awesome, very personable and welcoming despite coming from Australia.
Would highly recommend. Would be keen to go again with others. Big thumbs up
l.Loved this experience. Made to feel so welcome on arrival and did not expect the level of service we got. The gear you get given is great and kept us all warm. Then we went rafting which was made so much fun by our instructor. We jumped off the dingy and floated down the river drinking hit chocolate and eating chocolate fish. Something I will never forget. Then after the rafting you get taken to a thermal pool which was perfect then back to base for some soup and bread. This was my highlight of New Zealand 😁 thank you.
P."paddle hard" from the beginning of this adventure to carrying the raft to the trailer. Scenic, peaceful, loads of native birds and untouched bush. The voice of the guide leading us through rocks and rapids with skill, knowledge and laughter. Hot Raro and chocolate fish on the half way point. I will go back and do the Tongariro River again. Thank you.
T.My wife, myself and our four boys (11, 10, 6, & 5) loved this experience. Drew was an excellent guide and very patient with our little ones.
Y. A. T.These guys offer the most professional service I've ever had. They offered to pick me up from my local stay and brought me all the way to their shop about almost an hour away. Lunch was also provided after the river rafting tour. Our guide handled us all amateurs extremely well, after 10 mins of rafting everyone felt like good friends! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who's in the area and want to do something cool, new, and exciting.
R.Wow! What an operation! This was a fantastic experience, well worth what we payed. Isabella from Whakkapappa recommended it and I am so glad she did. Our guide John was fantastic, the rapids were intense, hot pools were hot, and all the little perks included, really topped things off! This was our first time rafting and I recommend it for anyone else who would like to try it. Grade (class III) rapids are perfect for learning.
M.So much fun rafting amongst the beautiful river landscape. Garth was very entertaining and the team were very friendly. Highly recommend this adventure even in the rain.
M.Tongariro River Rafting - enormously exhilarating and great fun! With the help of our very experienced - and youthful - guide, Justin. Can't wait to do it again!!
R.Brilliant time on the river. My first time rafting so was excited. The team were really friendly and welcoming. Exceeded my expectations. Spotted a very rare blue duck. Also enjoyed the trip to the hot pools to warm up. Great experience. Thank you.
J.This has been one of the best adventure trip in NZ. Firstly, Tau, the guide is awesome and knows the river so well. He made the entire trip so safe and so fun at the same time. We had fun spinning around rocks and still felt totally safe! The hardest part of the entire trip was getting into the fleeces and wet suits!!! The rest of the day was just exhilarating and so much fun. You will get to see the Blue Ducks, a rare duck (rarer than the Kiwi!), some beautiful views along the river, and talk about prisoner escaping by the river. Mid way through the trip, you will get a chance to jump off the cliff into the river. All fun and safe! Then drink hot chocolate on the raft and eat chocolate fish.
The whole trip was well planned. Good photos will be taken of you and it even includes a video.
W. S.My wife and I had the recent opportunity raft the Grade 3 white-water section of the Tongariro River with Tongariro River Rafting. It was an absolute blast!
Our guide was fantastic, was very informative and she encouraged us to ask questions about the river, the area and wildlife she was a helluva rafter. He gave us clear instructions yet still made the trip very fun. Hot chocolate and chocolate fish a great personal touch.
We would absolutely use Tongariro River Rafting again and certainly recommend to visitors to the area. A fantastic trip and the chance see a part of the Tongariro River that cannot be visited any other way.
M.What a nice experience this was. Even though I was the only one that had to be picked up, they were still so kind to pick me up and drop me off that my hostel. From the first moment you arrive, you feel the great atmosphere due to the lovely staff. The rafting itself was great with some awesome scenery along the way. Definitely a huge recommendation when in Taupo!
J. H.Excellent staff.
Everything was provided for our adventure, all I needed to bring was swimming clothes and myself. We were given a wetsuit, fleece top, wetsuit shoes, a life jacket, and a helmet.
The guide was calm and excellent at piloting the raft, and I felt safe the whole time.
The guide had great local knowledge about the region and the wildlife.
After the rafting we were provided with towels and a lunch spread which was great.
I. E.We had a great river rafting! Our guide was proffesional and coached us down the river. She told us a lot about the river and it's history. The suroundings was beautiful and there was a lot of great falls. We had so much fun!
E. S.Came down from Canada for my first rafting experience and it did not disappoint. Guides were cool and just fun to talk to. Even gave us some suggestions on places to hit up next. The scenery was on another level. Would definitely recommend to anyone who's looking for a solid 2 hours of fun.
Cheers
E.Nick and Paul are really good coaches! Awesome experience! After the rafting can have hot pool to warm up and relax, also hot soup and bread too, sweet! Definitely recommend it if want to do rafting! If coming back next time will try to do grade 4 or 5 for sure! Thank you guys!!
J. V.We had an awesome, oarsome experience today. Two mature couples who should know better ventured way outside their comfort zone and had the best experience with our talented guide Jacky. She brought out the best in us and somehow guided us down 13km of the river on a level 3 of 5 rapid ride and turned us from an epileptic spider into a well oiled machine. Such fun and the best value for money in the whole of NZ. We definitely would recommend this highly to you and you are unlikely to have the coldest day of the season that we survived.
R.Tackled the rapids twice now and had an amazing time both times! Guides are the best and are communitive the whole time giving the knowledge to of the land! Loved it!
J. P.Great day out on the water with the team. Mitch was a great guide and the team were all well prepared and made it a wicked adventure. A nice long session (2hours) on the water compared to some other trips that are often short 40mins.
T. S.Absolutely fantastic experience. Nick and Paul were very friendly and well informed. Very thrilling ride down. Expected to get cold but didn't! The provided gear is of great quality and kept us warm. Hot chocolate on the river and hot pools followed by soup to finish. 10/10.
a. m.Number 1 place to go rafting! The guys were experienced, friendly and made the day an overall fun and epic experience which, for the price, you can't beat. We were welcomed by Ben and Garth (who are the friendliest guys in town) with tea and coffee and were given a run down of the day and then set off on the bus to the river. I have done rafting experiences all over the world but I have to say this was by far the most fun and the instructor definitely made it! There were a couple of hairy moments but Ben was always in complete control. This coupled with the beauty of the river and the guides knowledge of the river and its wildlife made this an experience we will never forget! Thanks guys!!!
S. O.Totally awesome!! Highly professional with a very personal touch ...... all of the employees were so genuinely caring and interested in their customers. We had an A-mazing adventure!! .... the people really invested time listening teaching and sharing their life experience and personal strengths with us.
J. S.We had a blast! Great moments to cherish indeed. Jayden, Brayden and Sarah are awesome!
This is definitely a destination you wouldn't want to miss.... even in winter!
D. B.Me and my fiance had a blast! Our rafting guide Finn was amazing, really made the experience complete!
Would definitely recommend this to anyone and would gladly do this again next time I'm down in NZ
E.Hired a mountain bike yesterday - The track was beautiful. Amazing views of the river and all in native bush! Easy grade 2 riding - perfect for beginners. Excellent price compared to the outrageous price you will pay for mountain bike hire in Rotorua! Good quality bikes that were obviously really well looked after! Can't wait to come back and hit the tracks near Tree Trunk Gorge. Wonderful staff ... see you again soon!
T.Great experience. Felt very safe. Guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend.
C. L.Me and my partner went on the grade 3 rapids and we loved it. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We can't wait to come back 🙂
K.The best and ONLY rafting experience I would recommend in Turangi. Super chill and awesome guides (Evan was a hunk). Ask for the front left spot!
G.This river is a level three river. Our guide told us there were 44 rapids in our 2+ hours float. We've done other floats as long, but without as many rapids; keeps the float exciting. Rene did a great job guiding the boat and chatting with the guests. After the rafting, we had lunch of sandwiches, salad, dessert and hot chocolate. They also provided the opportunity to buy photos they took of your rafting adventure.
C. M.We loved every minute, from the safety brief to riding the rapids. An awesome ride with a great guide who kept us totally entertained and safe. I would recommend this to everyone to give it a go.
S. F.Highly recommend this incredible experience! We got lucky and were on a small trip of only 6 people. Our guide, Johnny, was informative, skilled, and best of all very funny! It's quite cold this time of year but they had enough gear to keep us very warm, a few of us even took off some of the items due to being too hot. They were accommodating and carried medication with them in their dry bag without issue. Afterwards we got to soak in thermally heated pools and ate some soup. Tasha, who works the front desk, was also super informative! I'd say it takes some level of fitness, but should be fine for most people.
P. M.One of the best rafting trips Ive been on. The whole experience was so easy to book and everyone was so friendly and helpful. I had a great time and really enjoyed the trip out onto the water plus getting to enjoy the hot springs and hot food afterwards to warm up which is a brilliant added touch by the company!!! 10/10 would recommened and do again! =]
K.We had SUCH a good time white water rafting here. Our guide, Angus, was fantastic - had all kinds of fun facts about the area and the reason some rapids are named as they are. The rapids are a bit more tame (level 3) but are pretty nonstop. It's a great option for someone new to river rafting or even if you're experienced. Definitely a must-do if you're staying in the area.
M. R.We loved the experience! Even though it was winter, they gave us a full gear that kept us warm throughout the whole day. Then, we went to the hot pools and were welcomed by a nice soup. Would definitely recommend!
C.My friend and I went on the Blue duck river rafting experience, epic experience highlight of our whole trip, experience New Zealand at its best. Rene, Natasha and the team were all lovely! Highly recommend :)
K.A fantastic morning on the river. Exciting and beautiful. We were well looked after by a professional team of guides who obviously love their jobs.
J. E.Such an amazing day! Spent the day rafting with 9 friends for my birthday. 100% my favorite place I have ever rafted, the guys work really hard to make sure everyone had a great time and Justin our guide was awesome! I would defiantly recommend to anyone who is in the area, a great activity from either Taupo or Turangi.
S.Amazing experience! Had a Canadian guide who was spectacular! Highly recommend.
W.Great value, safe, professional, fun, great gear and a great crew. Highly recommended!
J.Great day out. Awesome and experienced guides. Loved the white water rafting experience especially the hot chocolate, soup and soak in the thermal pools.
Professional team and great hospitality - can't thank them enough. Highly recommend TRR
f.Had an absolutely amazing time! Shania was a fantastic guide and provided great yarns and laughs the whole time - couldnt have been better
V. H.No trip to Turangi/Taupo is complete without going rafting in Tongariro river. Our family had such a great time. Our guide, Mitch, was fantastic. Lots of jokes along the way. Love it!!!!!
T.Five star team here. Really enjoyed our time. The guides knew the river inside out and we got to see some Theo. Trip to hot pools was great as was the soup at the end. Totally recommend and think it represents excellent value for money.
Z. H.Amazing day!
surpassed expectations with a Good balance of scenery and Adrenalin.
Our river guide Ben made the day that much better with a great sense of humor and knowledge of the river.
Cant forget the tomato soup, shout out to grandma for the recipe.
S. Y.AMAZING!!! It's just worth it! Hot chocolate and mush-mallow are provided when you just started to get a little bit tired. Hot food is also provided after rafting. Thank you so much Danny for the great effort you've put in! We loved our journey!
G. B.The whole team of staff were very friendly, the whole process was explained very well so if it is your first time rafting or even to new zealand you won't have trouble understanding. The experience is one I won't forget! Highly recommended
I. L.Me and friend had an amazing time on the river with Garth, it was "oarsome"! We were the only one in the raft with Garth. Yes yes, they go for 2 peole!
Friendly staff/guide, Garth and Paul welcomed us like at home.
Cleary explanation of the gears and safety rules.
Easy river for those who never done it, just follow the instructions ;)
Stunning scenery! Don't hesitated to jump in the river, super good feeling!
Pick up from Taupo for the White water rafting trip on July 1st for free, please book in advance they will pick you up at 11 am for an incredible journey even on rainy or cloudy days.
Excellent soup!
Good idea the hot pool after the cold of the river.
Thanks also for Blue Duck Project and your involvement in nature conservation/sustainability. It's so important to protect this beautiful land :)
Thank you again for this Awesome trip and can I book for the Access 14? September 16th please!
B.I love tour operators who put people first, and Garth and the Tongariro River Rafting team clearly do that.
My experience began with a ride around the Tongariro River Trail. I was provided with a quality e-bike, helmet and map and was sent off feeling comfortable about the adventure ahead of me. The trail is fantastic, no significant challenges, shared with walkers and anglers and offering fun for all skills of all ages. Riding over the suspension bridge and getting the views of Turangi was a highlight.
Then it was into the cold water gear to hit the rapids. Our guide To was sensational. Knew his stuff, communicated with passion and had us covered every step of the way. You're well looked after with again, high-quality gear and experienced local knowledge.
The Tongariro River has to be experienced to be believed. Over 60 rapids across the 13km run, it's impossible to not be immersed in the beauty of the river. The trip itself was just sensational - To brings along hot chocolate for a mid-run break, along with chocolates to munch on. We also had the chance to see the Whio (Blue Duck) and Rainbow Trout on a few occasions. There is the chance to get out and swim and the footage they capture (including 360 degrees from a GoPro Fusion) are great for memories. Lastly, you wrap up by being driven to Tokaanu to warm up again in the thermal pools before returning back to the shed for warm soup and bread. Just an unreal complete experience.
I honestly can't recommend this team of legends enough. Seriously, a must do adventure for your trip to the Lake Taupo region.
D.This is a great team. We are both over 70 and Jen, Tori and Jimmy looked after us so well. Quite an experience for us but these guys are so friendly and sociable and caring. No cotton wool stuff though. This is just one great experience and best value for money you can get if you need a bit of adrenalin. We've done a few exciting things in our lives but this tops everything.
Just do it, Dave and Jan Williams
I.Great staff, very helpful, tailored experience to suit our group. Offered discounts for their other experiences. Prompt pick up. Highly recommend
J.Great experience, enthusiastic people! They'll take good care of everything, would definitely recommend! And they do have an attractive guide, although it is not the one that so loudly proclaims it to be ;)
N.For me the rafting tour was a bit to lame, but you will see the untouched nature there, and that is already enough to go on this trip.
U r able to see blue ducks, which are 10 times rarer than the kiwi in new Zealand.
U can also see the fishes swimming in the river u are on. Quite nice
a.A good afternoon out staff very professional. The river and views stunning . Much better than sitting by the Lake. I would suggest value for money. No photographs taken so to recall your experience you need a Go Pro reply or other water proof camera
M.A great morning rafting with TRR. Everyone had a fun and got soaked in the process! Saw plenty of whio (NZ native blue ducks) up close and even diving close to the raft.
Second time doing this trip and just as great the second time around.
Highly recommended.
J.Great experience. Everyone was very friendly and answered any question with a smile. Was my first time white water rafting and I felt like a pro by the end. Fantastic highly recommend doing.
W.Fantastic experience for young & old, Garth’s Team provide you with the complete package that will be one of your highlights of your visit to Turangi. Our family raft trip with my daughter, her partner & 3 children had an absolute ball – best 2 hours ever. Thank you Garth.
S.Really enjoyed this trip, rafting on the Tongariro River. Rapid after rapid - no boredom, lots of fun. They provide all the equipment you need plus lovely food at the end. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near Turangi.
C.Awesome family fun with an awesome guide!
S.Great experience. The team is really friendly, will definitely be doing another trip sometime!
K.Fantastic experience. Thanks to Gypsy and Sam for a great day. Highly recommended. Worth every penny.
S.Everyone at Tongariro rafting really made our experience truly special, we had an amazing time with our guide Ben on the river! I highly recommend this activity to anyone, best activity in NZ!! Thanks guys 😊
N.Had a fantastic trip. Great rafting, great guide and beautiful views. Would recommend to anyone.
P.Outstanding. Rafting with TRR was the first experience I had with the Tongariro River. The fantastic service coupled with excellent management of all aspects of the trip made it an experience to certainly remember. I must praise TRR owner Garth Oakden for his work in the Blue Duck Project. On the one morning alone we witnessed at least three breeding pairs of Whio with several ducklings each. This conservation work and consideration for the ecosystem you're working with is something that every outfit around the country should be heeding. My greatest thanks and congratulations.
J.Amazing experience on a beautiful river with friendly experienced and hospitable people, would throughly recommend and will definitely do with other friends and family when in the region again.
M.Friendly and professional staff! Did white water rafting for the first time, but our guide helped put my fears at ease, so that I can focus on the fun! I will definitely recommend them to others who want to do WWR in Taupo/Tongariro River!
P.It was a great experience. We take care of you from the beginning. The equipment is provided. it is a super team.
I have not regretted my decision for a moment. Absolutely recommendable
A. B.Very professional team inspired confidence and soon reassured the nervous! When not in rapids we enjoyed great scenery and interesting info as well as hot chocolate and biscuit half way! A great afternoon.
P.Great time! Knowledgeable Guide, helpful staff, top notch equipment, good chow. Also rented bikes; again, top notch. I can't imagine a higher level of service available at any other outfitter. Tongariro Rocks!
E.We had such an amazing day with the TRR guys. Our guide Renee put people at ease and made it so much fun. You end the trip just wanting to do it all over again! Thank you for the best day, we will be back! Chelsea and Laura :)
C.Went rafting on my recent trip to NZ.. Our guide, Zac, was simply awesome.. He made the whole adventure fun and memorable.. He was highly responsible and took very good care of those on board.. Thank you!
p.Fantastic experience polite friendly staff yummy soup afterwards recommend highly also got a voucher for the hotpools and a tip for dessert at a local restaurant finished the day off perfectly
S.Awesome trip. V. Friendly pros. Beautiful scenery. Our guide Brayden made it a great morning out. Highly recommended
A.The rafting experience was great,our guide was the best and really made the rafting a stand out day,faultless.....but,upon encountering the boss/owner he had a poor negative attitude that really took the shine off what would of been a perfect day,maybe learn a thing or two of your great,friendly staff
P.Had an absolute ball with these guys, the guides were great and the rapids were amazing fun. Guides had plenty of great stories about the area, the river and the abandoned prison escapes and we luckily got through the mine field without any pops!
t.Overall very good experience 😁
Good Guides, very safe tour , no undoable spots.
Also for people who can't swim (just tell the Guides).
Much to eat afterwards, small pause on quiet spot.
Jumping scene (if you want).
S.The entire team makes your day an experience you'll never be able to forget. The water is crystal clear and is a beautiful, fun-filled ride the enitre way. I've been to New Zealand twice now and made it a point to visit Garth and his team both times. I cannot wait to go back!!! If you are planning a visit to NZ, you should definitely put TRR on you bucket list!!!
L. L.It was good to see real people among overly commercialized Taupo tour attractions. It has exceptionally good money value. Guranteed satisfaction from the river, nature as well as the awesome guides. I felt really happy while floating along the water and being a part of this wonderful nature. Definately 5 star experience !
R.Fantastic experience. Jade was a real pro and all the crew made for a wonderful day. Easily one of the highlights of our New Zealand trip.
M. T. E.We rented bikes here to cycle the Tongariro River Trail. It was a great 2 hour ride and the lovely people at the rafting house rented us a couple of good bikes to use for the trip. Check it out! :-)
P.We had a great experience on a family rafting trip last weekend. Thanks team!
G.Such well oiled operation. The guides were really helpful. Nice to get a hot cuppa on one of the still sections. Great experience on an exciting river.
E.Very experienced guys to do the river rafting with. My friend's families did the experience last weekend and enjoyed thoroughly.
S.Exceptional attention to detail and your safety. First class operation with a real passion for their environment that they operate it. Awesome trip down the river. You won't be disappointed
A.On a cold day in June this was an unlikely place to go. But fully wet suited up and guided by Nick we had a great afternoon on the river and never felt the cold. I'd thoroughly recommend it.
F.We had the most awesome day! The guides were nice, cool and relaxed but still took the tour and the safety around it seriously. Loved it!
M.Great food and people. Nice and quick.
R.Awesome! A few thrills and spills if u like to be daring. Great time, great team! A must do.
R.Highly recommend. Enough challenge for fun, not scary. Competent knowledgeable and amusing guide. It was spectacular weather, great experience
J. P.We had an awesome trip down the rapids with Lauren! The canyons in the middle were my favourite scene and also jumping into the water to cool down.
A.Fantastic day out - options for all the family 7 to 70 .. highly experienced staff and great banter. Thanks again team.
G.Magic day with Angus in the beautiful headwaters of the Tongariro. Had my good friend Joe with us and he landed his first Tongariro trout. Great day, with great people, thank you Garth, Angus and the team.

V.Awesome experience, Johnny was an excellent guide.
C.10/10 absolutely incredible! So much fun! Guides are full of knowledge and made us laugh the entire way!
N.TRR is characterised by a high degree of professionalism and service with attention to detail in every respect. Garth Oakden has built a premier organisation through many years of experience and employs the most highly qualified guides (eg Zach Bassett - superb) who ensure a safe and fun experience for all. The presence of Whio on the river and now down to the town pools is a tribute to the work of Garth, TRR and other partners in the Blue Duck Project - well done and thankyou!
S.Our guide was fantastic and if you want a place that is safe but still "white water rafting" this will work for the faint of heart.
C.Had a great day of rafting with the kids on the family floats. Kids had a ball. Was the best day of NZ so far.
A.Very professional! Felt safe all the way. Had lots of fun!!! Thanks everyone

J. W.Great family day, we took our three daughters age 11 8 and three. The youngest really enjoyed her ride on the bike seat and we very much had lots of fun on the E bikes. Staff are very helpful and went above and beyond to provide safe and fun environment for everyone. We will certainly be back soon. Thank you

S.(Translated) A really great event. We can only recommend to all nature enthusiastic. Our guide explained everything well and was very friendly. After the tour there was the possibility to make a sandwich and drink various drinks. 150nzd per person are absolutely well invested.

Ein wirklich tolles event..Können wir allen Natur begeisterten nur empfehlen. Unser guide hat alles gut erklärt und war sehr freundlich. Nach der Tour gab es die Möglichkeit sich ein sandwich zu machen und diverse Getränke zu trinken. 150nzd pro Person sind absolut gut investiert.
C.(Translated) I can only recommend. The team was super relaxed and always ready to joke without losing the professionalism. Even for beginners it is very easy to master. Definitely something you should have done in New Zealand. And unbeatable landscape.

Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen. Das Team war super locker und jederzeit zu Späßen aufgelegt ohne die Professionalität zu verlieren. Auch für Anfänger ist es sehr gut zu meistern. Definitiv etwas was man in Neuseeland gemacht haben sollte. Und Landschaftlich unschlagbar.
S.(Translated) I thought it was fantastic, it was a lot of fun.
Florin and Tezz were very welcoming. There was even hot chocolate during a quiet minute and sandwiches after the tour.
For $ 30 you could still get all the photos.

Florin und Tezz waren sehr herzlich. Es gab sogar heiße Schokolade während einer ruhigen Minute und Sandwiches nach der Tour.
Für 30$ konnte man sich noch alles Fotos holen.
D.(Translated) Very interesting experience, the price is a little expensive, but it should still be worth it. I hope to explore more challenging routes next time.
