Another cruise ship day and another group wishing to head over to Rotorua. Their preference was rafting so off we went to Raftabout. As on every tour we try and fill in the journey over to Rotorua with a few stories about the local history and culture, a quick stop if we can at a kiwifruit orchard and anything else that may catch the eye of our customers. Today it was Stu, Joy, Steve and Patricia. We booked the 12.30 trip on the Kaituna River which is approx 45 mins on the river and boast the highest commercially rafted water fall at 7 metres. First though I showed them a few of the geothermal areas in Rotorua. When we arrived at Rafttabout they had room on one of the rafts so I was once again given the opportunity to go down the river. Needless to say I was glad to accept. I know I have already mentioned this but in my opinion Raftabout is the best rafting company in Rotorua. The Kaituna river takes you down a narrow gorge covered in native bush and of course several large rapids, but you really need to do it to appreciate how amazing it is. After the trip it was time to head back to Tauranga. Again if we have time I like to take people up one of the highest hills in the area which provides them with panoramic views of the Bay of Plenty. I am glad to say we had time today to do just that.
