When the rubber raft tips over the edge, hold on tight but don’t hold back – feel free to let it all out and yell!

Just don’t set off down the river on your own! Be sure to join an experienced guide who is familiar with the surroundings and the water flow. They will provide all the instructions, training, and equipment you need.

With good teamwork, you’ll soon whoosh down the flowing rapids like real pros.
