NZ is the home of extreme sports. Extreme sports by
their nature demand claimed superlatives, and on this occasion it was 'the
highest commercially raftable waterfall in the world'. It's on the Kaituna River
near Rotorua, and the drop is a pretty exciting 7m. Kate & Tom just had to
give it a go.
Here are the Okere Falls. Don't look like much from
a distance, do they? But that really is a 7m drop:
Here they come, Kate & Tom in the front
seats:
Now you see them,
And now you don't; actually they're just visible in
the centre of the falls if you look closely
And safely out:
