Tongariro River Rafting

At Tongariro River Rafting, we’re 100% Kiwi-owned and operated by local husband and wife team Garth and Leigh Oakden.
We’ve been rafting these waters since 1987 and are passionate about what we do! We offer a variety of rafting options for families with little ones or intrepid adventurers wanting multi day excursions. We also offer fishing excursions and mountain biking adventures.
All our rafting guides are experienced, fully trained using top-quality equipment, and are totally committed to your safety and enjoyment. If you’re looking for things to do in Taupo, look no further than Tongariro River Rafting!

You’ll start your unforgettable adventure with an on-shore safety briefing and paddle instructions with one of our experienced guides. You and the rest of the crew will then begin your white water rafting journey on grade 3 rapids – an ideal grade for experienced paddlers or first-time rafters.
