Travel Guide

New Zealand is all about adventure — so for one of my first adrenaline-pumping activities, I did white water rafting on the world’s HIGHEST commercially rafted waterfall with Kaitiaki Adventures! 

I was incredibly nervous at first because the rapids were strong, but in the end it became extremely fun! We basically went through Kaituna River, over 14 rapids and 3 waterfalls which includes the 7meter Tutea Falls (thee said highest commercially rafted waterfall in the whole world!) This is definitely a MUST for you to do when in New Zealand!

Pullman Rotorua is in a great central location in the heart of town. The staff, the few there were, were friendly. The robots all smiled. The check-in offerings to type your personal details into a giant screen, visible to everyone nearby, wasn't a great initial impression. Fortunate that I am tall ...
