  What an adventure! We did the Raft & Sledge option ($175 at the time) when we were last in Rotorua and I'm so glad we did. I talked my wife into it, she was very reluctant and nervous, but she loved it! Had such an awesome time. Our guide was excellent (sorry mate I forget your name). The 7m waterfall was an adrenaline blast in the raft! The scenery was nice, although we were having way too much fun to notice most of it. We did the rafting first then the lower part of the river on the sledge second. I think the sledging was my favourite but both were excellent. Make sure you check out Raftabout if you're in Rotorua as it could be one of the best things you do one your holiday! Certainly one of the most memorable.
