KAITUNA RIVER WHITEWATER RAFTING





These are shots of my raft going over the highest commercially rafted waterfall in the world. The rapid is considered a class V and the waterfall is twenty-one feet high. A sure sign I'm getting older is that I was pretty nervous before we headed down this thing. The air temperature was a chilly 40 degrees, and the water wasn't much warmer. About 1 in 20 rafts flip going over the falls. We made it over, but not without getting completely soaked. And this is one of the tamer activities we do here in New Zealand.
