We’re number one on TripAdvisor, and have had over 200,000 customers. Here’s exactly why Tongariro River Rafting gives you the best Taupō white water rafting experience.
If you have reserved a trip with us, your departure is guaranteed. We would only cancel in severe weather - your safety comes first. Rafting the Tongariro is a year-round activity. A bit of rain won't stop us - we'll be getting wet anyway!
We capture high quality photos throughout your trip - view them on the big screen when you return. Bring your own GoPro and we'll attach it securely to your helmet, freeing your hands for paddling.
Over 30 years on the Tongariro, 28 of them commercially. We know every rock, every bump, and every Blue Duck on the river. TRR has never changed ownership - you're getting three decades of expertise and local knowledge.
A small local operator, not an impersonal internationally-owned business. You're always more than just a number to us. Decades of local knowledge - rafting, mountain biking, fishing, food, and everything in between.
Certified by the NZ Rivers Association, Department of Conservation, Qualmark Gold, and AdventureMark.
Responsible, patient and heaps of fun. They know how to put first-timers at ease and make every trip memorable. Many have led rafting trips around the world before returning to the Tongariro - the best river of all.
School groups, friends, international visitors, honeymooners, corporate businesses, and Kiwi families. Wherever you're from, you're warmly welcomed into the TRR whānau from the moment you arrive.
