Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned adventurer, rafting is an intense and unforgettable experience, perfect for connecting with nature and strengthening team bonds.
Why Rafting?
Rafting is, above all, a story of sensations. It's an opportunity to feel the power of the water, overcome natural obstacles, and navigate through wild, unspoiled landscapes. Unlike other water sports, rafting is a collective activity where coordination and mutual support are essential. Paddling together, synchronizing your efforts, and shouting with joy at each rapid create lasting memories and unique bonds.
Tips for preparing your rafting trip
To take full advantage of your rafting experience, some advice is in order:
- Choose the Right Difficulty Level : Rivers are classified into six levels of difficulty, from level I (very easy) to level VI (extremely dangerous and almost insurmountable). If you are a beginner, prefer levels II to III, which are ideal for a first experience.
- Listen to the Guide's Instructions : Your guide is there to ensure your safety and enjoyment. Listen carefully to his instructions before and during the descent.
- Wear the Right Gear : Helmet, life jacket and neoprene wetsuit are essential to stay safe and warm.
- Learn Basic Commands “Forward!”, “Back!”, “Stop!” and “Drop!” are commands you will hear often. It is crucial to understand them well in order to react quickly.
- Stay in Team : In rafting, unity is strength. Coordination among team members is the key to navigating the rapids safely.
