Getting the team together for some excitement & madness….
Kaituna Cascades specialize in groups of all sizes – Whether it be a birthday party, stags or hens party, end of year work do or Christmas function, team building, corporate events, school groups or sports groups – we have the best activity’s and facility’s for you and the crew!
Being the original Kaituna rafting company it gave us the 1st pick of locations!
Our sweet Rafting Base in Okere Falls allows for groups to relax and enjoy the area before and after the rafting. We have loads of free off street parking (camper-van and bus friendly) and big grassy area’s with big picnic tables and bean bags to chill on.
It’s in an awesome sunny location that backs onto the shores of the Kaituna River and is surrounded by the scenic reserve which also has the famous Okere Falls walking trails.
In the warmer months we have a Volleyball court set up as well as a marque for shade and BBQ facilities.
We are the closest and most accessible company to the river which means we don’t have any long shuttle drives before or after the rafting, giving you more time on the river and also less stress off the river – making us the BEST place to host your group.

Corporate Groups, Work functions & Team Building
Everyone loves taking a day out of the office and jumping on the river with us for an exciting and awesome team-building experience. Stay at rafting base after and enjoy our facilities or head on around the corner to The Okere Store for some ‘everything friendly’ food and enjoy Rotorua’s best selection of craft beer. We can 100% accommodate your end of year Christmas function!! We are also chilli-bin friendly for an after rafting reward.
School Groups | Sports Teams | Clubs
We already work with many high schools around New Zealand & Australia, and would love to help you out with some amazing rafting for your students and be part of your next school camp or outdoor getaway! It’s the perfect activity for students aged 13-18 and being only 2.5 hours round trip, it fits into almost any itinerary!
Our base is very free range kid friendly. We have a large grassy area to throw/kick a ball around, volleyball court, picnic tables and shady tree areas to enjoy a picnic lunch under. Being located right next to the scenic reserve and the Okere Falls walking track lets the kids stretch their legs and watch the rafts tumble over the falls at the viewing platforms.
We have all the paperwork to keep everyone happy and is easily shareable with you, and are Adventure Mark registered and approved.
We do amazing deals for schools so call or email us to find out more!
