A bit north of Rotorua is Okere Falls, where the big river goes over what is described as the highest commercially-rafted waterfall. 7 meters. We had to see this. I did several videos, which someday, not too distant, will be posted to YouTube with a link here. One video is at

The old hydroelectric ruins in the foreground, two of the more
formidable falls in back; but they are only 3-4 meters... |

Here's the big one, 7 meters; some of the rafts actually go
completely underwater in their dive; some plunge head-first,
others side-ways...but everybody seems to stay in the boat |
