This includes a briefing, time to get kitted out in the rafting equipment, transport to the river, a snack and drink break mid-trip, as well as the fun of making way downriver. Guests will probably be on the rivers for about 2.5 hours. This time is a guide only and is dependent on river levels, weather conditions and how many locals that meet on the way. ● It is recommended a reasonable level of fitness for this tour, particularly in lower water levels as guests may need to be a little more active in manoeuvring the raft or pushing off rocks. As a guide, in summer guests can expect a bit more active involvement in making their way downstream, while in the wetter months, the journey gets easier as the river gets higher. ● If guests need to take medication during the day, give this to the guide who will arrange for it to be carried on the trip. ● If guests wear prescription glasses these should have a strap on them, but normal sunglasses are not necessary or recommended. |
