- Attire and Equipment
We will supply essential gear such as life jackets, but please note that squirt guns and foam water shooters are not included.
Your attire is at your discretion, but it is essential to wear appropriate footwear, whether closed waterproof shoes or securely strapped sandals. Dress according to the weather and conditions. Many opt for synthetic t-shirts, shorts, or snug yoga-style pants suitable for rafting. Cotton clothing is not recommended as it becomes cold when wet and retains moisture for extended periods.
Avoid carrying valuables like cameras and mobile phones unless you have a dry bag (and even then, keep such items to a minimum). While some guides may provide a dry bag for small personal items, this is not always the case. Opt for sports shorts with sealable pockets for storing essentials like keys. If you wish to bring a mobile phone or camera, ensure it is waterproof or enclosed in a waterproof case and can be securely fastened to your life jacket with a carabiner.
- Safety Guidelines
The paramount safety rule is to always adhere to your guide's instructions. They are trained to ensure your safety during this potentially risky activity, especially for the uninitiated. While laughter with friends is enjoyable, it's crucial not to overlook the guide's directives.
It goes without saying that swimming proficiency is a prerequisite for rafting. Engaging in rafting without this skill significantly heightens the risk if you fall off the raft. Guides are adept at swiftly assisting swimmers back onto the raft if they fall overboard. However, the likelihood of panic and hazardous behavior increases if you are unable to swim. You don't need to be an expert swimmer for whitewater rafting, but basic water competence is vital for your well-being.
Please be aware that individuals under 1.2 meters in height and those over 60 years old are not suitable for this rafting excursion.
