The river churns and spits; your raft crashes down on the seething spray like matchwood, your crew desperately fighting to stay afloat. Heart pumping, arms screaming, exhilaration coursing through your veins; this is the world of white water rafting. This is unparalleled excitement. It’s raw, it’s primal. It’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced.
If you think you’re up to it; white water rafting is the ultimate extreme water sport. But be sure – be very sure! White water rafting subjects you to the forces of nature in a way that no other activity day or extreme experience can quite match. It will test your strength, your endurance and your mettle!
White water rafting is unlike any other extreme activity. This is not a quick fix burst of terror and pleasure for adrenalin junkies; this is all out action, constant incident and edge of the seat thrills, with lots and lots of spills. It’s wave after wave of unadulterated sensation, each bigger and more terrifying than the last. It’s a sustained battle between elemental nature and man. Beware: lightweight extreme experience enthusiasts might find themselves overwhelmed and under water quicker than you can say ’capsize!’ So make sure you can take the thrills, because the thrills come thick and fast.
White water rafting is definitely not for the faint of heart. Landlubbers definitely need not apply. You will get wet. So if the thought of churning rapids makes your stomach churn; or if the prospect of spilling out into the drink gives you the shakes, maybe you should consider a gentler activity – like bungee jumping!
Never fear. You will be safe. But that’s not to say you won’t necessarily experience a little danger. White water rafting is unpredictable – every single trip is different and caries its own particular challenges. But that’s part of the attraction. Whilst we can’t guarantee that you won’t capsize or fall into the rampaging waters, we can assure you that you won’t mind too much; and that you’ll feel more alive than you’ve ever felt!
Naturally you’ll be issued with all the safety apparatus you need to ensure that you’ll step back onto dry land, safe and sound, if a little wet! Helmets, wet suits and buoyancy aids are essential components of the trip. Your guide will apprise you of all the appropriate rafting techniques and safety procedures. But don’t worry too much. This is not a technical exercise, it’s an extreme activity, with a bit of bonding thrown in! Essentially, if you can work together, you can do it. It doesn’t even matter if you’ve never set foot in a pedalo, let alone a self bailing white water raft!
White water rafting is the perfect team building exercise. So if you’re looking for a corporate team building day with a difference or just a unique gift for him or her, white water rafting will fit the bill. Working under the supervision of your guide you’ll be required to bond quickly with your raft mates. You’ll be expected to work together; to row in unison and work in harmony. Most of all, you’ll be challenged. You’ll be challenged like you’ve never been challenged before. Fail that challenge and the water will toss you overboard and spit you out.
Sounds like fun huh? No, seriously! White water rafting is an incredible, unforgettable, unbeatable experience. Your senses will be heightened to the furthest extremes. You’ll experience exhilaration unlike anything you’ve ever imagined. The satisfaction you’ll get from ‘running the river’ will sustain you for a long time to come. So, what are you waiting for? The river is waiting for you…
