Hi guys, we are booked for a rafting trip this Tuesday, if the river is too high, or too fast would it be canceled?

Comments

Rotorua Rafting will asses the river each day and make a call as to whether it is safe to operate or not. If for any reason they choose to call off the day you would of course have the option to reschedule or refund your trip. With the Grade 5 Kaituna River trips, safety absolutely comes first!
