We headed to the Kaituna River for some grade V river rafting.
The grade comes mainly from the 21' drop over Okere Falls (the highest commerical vertical rafting drop in the world!)
It was a short but wild trip!
One of the smaller warming up falls...
Joe and I are in the back row...
Heading over Okere Falls...they are also an important site to the Maori people as the falls hide many caves that would shelter women and children during war
here we go!
and we thought we wouldnt get wet!
luckily we all stayed on (although we almost lost one woman!)
our guide lost his helmet.. we only lost our breath!
the man sitting in front of Joe was rather intense!!
our adrenaline pumped group and guide Nigel(an interesting name for a dread-headed professional river rat)
