숙련된 리더와 함께하는 안전하면서도 박진감 넘치는 래프팅

실제 래프팅 시간은 45분에서 1시간 정도 소요됩니다. 전체 시간은 대략 2시간반이며, 처음 30분은 등록 및 오리엔테이션 시간이고, 왕복 30분(각 15분씩)은 실제 래프팅 장소로 가기위한 차량 이동시간이며, 1시간은 래프팅 시간, 이후 30분은 복귀 후 복장을 갈아입고, (원하는 분들에 한해) 사진을 찾는 시간이라고 보시면 될 것 같습니다. 모든 크루들은 상당히 숙련되었으며, 실제 탑승인원은 7명(직원 1명 포함)인데 6~7m 폭포 하강 시 3명이 보트에서 이탈(위험하다기보단 해당 폭포 래프팅은 그러할 수 있음)했음에도 침착하게 보트에 다시 탑승시키는 등 짜릿함과 안전함을 둘 다 갖춘 매우 훌륭한 경험이었습니다. 래프팅을 안 한다던 와이프, 그리고 20살된 아들 모두에게 좋은 경험을 갖게 해주어 만족스러운 경험이었습니다. 다시 한 번 카이티아키 어드벤처 직원들에게 감사합니다.

10/10 Recommend

This was my second time rafting with Kaitiaki Adventures and it was fantastic both times. Rafting over the 7m water fall (highest rafted waterfall in the world) is such a thrill.

Incredible

My husband and I did the Kaituna rafting first 9 years ago and it was at least as epic this time! This is a must-do when in the central North Island!!! So much fun!!! The guides are just fantastic- super professional and fun! Would do it happily again any time!
