  • We did the family float adventure, which included kids aged 10-13.

    It was the perfect intro to rafting for them and they all loved it so much they've asked if we can do the next level up next year. Our guide, Sarah, was so fun with a bubbly personality that just added to the whole adventure. The gear provided meant we were warm and comfortable, even though it was a rainy Autumn day. Also, two members of our party had to drop out in the week before due to a broken arm. Tongariro rafting's communication was warm and timely and they gave us a refund for the affected parties immediately. We will definitely be back to try another adventure. Can't recommend Tongariro River Rafting enough!

  • This was an amazing experience.

    This is a must do in Taupo. Incredible hospitality with utmost professionalism. Our guide - Jade - was entertaining, and really maximised our experiences on the rapid while ensuring safety at all time. The whole company / team is certainly one of a kind in its operations!

    Hi Gary,

    We are so glad to hear you had a good time rafting with us, and found all of Jade's jokes 'entertaining' and not 'corny'. He is a very valued member of our team and will be thrilled to get this feedback.

    All the best,

    The TRR Team.

  • Grade rafting adventure.

    Absolutely loved it. Would have gone around again if had time. Great kit, staff informative and safety conscious. Rapids were fun, lots of laughing. Guide Jerum was amazing with instructions and made you feel perfectly safe while keeping it exciting. Highly recommended. Even saw a pair of blue ducks!

  • It is nice to go on a tour where you are treated like family and not like a number.

    We have done many adventure based travel activities and haven't found any with as friendly and caring team as Garth and the team. Our rafting guide Hayley was awesome... Great local knowledge and she didn't race us down the river like we saw happen with the opposition company that overtook us at a rate of knots.

    It was a beautiful part of the world and Hayley made sure we enjoyed every second of it. Great adventure with the rapids, even got to see New Zealand's rarest duck, the Blue Duck, (even with chicks)...

    After jumping in the river several times which was running at 7 degrees Celsius, the trip to the Thermal Pool and the cup of homemade Tomato soup was a welcome ending to a great afternoon.

    .

    They catered for the young and old, as well as the adventure seeker. Highly recommend to anyone, certainly the best river rafting operator we have used...

  • We did both the North and South Island for a 2 week family holiday.

    We found the Tongariro Family Float in the top 2 things to do in NZ as a Family. It has a great blend excitement, fun, education and good humour for both kids and parents. Great guide and hospitality both on the river and back at the shop. 👍👍👍
