This year, why not spend the holidays with a twist? Treat yourself and your family to a white water rafting adventure! This could be the perfect outdoor trip to strengthen your family ties. On top of that, the trip will be more special and meaningful because you are doing it with your loved ones.
Planning the Trip
Finding a Rafting Outfitter
First thing first. You need to do some research and look for a reliable rafting outfitter or adventurer group. Choose the one that has been in the industry for a long time. Also, do not forget to consider the feedback or testimonials of their previous clients so you will know whether they are trustworthy or not.
Make Your Family’s Safety a Priority
Before signing up to a rafting outfitter, take time to inspect their safety gears, their equipment and ask if they do a safety briefing before you plunge into the river. Moreover, take time to ask about their guides too if they are good swimmers. Be sure that they also know every twist and turn of the river.
On the Day
What to Bring
When going for a rafting adventure, less is more. Pack only the necessary items you need in your trip. The rafting adventure can only last for as long as 7 hours and will finish depending on how early you set out for the river.
Clothing
Wear appropriate clothes like shorts, t-shirts, swimsuits, swimming trunks and other clothing that is light even if it gets wet. As for the shoes, keep it light and be sure that it will not be driven out by the raging waters. You can also bring some extra clothing or something you can change into after the trip.
Personal Items
Bring a sunscreen or sunblock, chapstick or lip balm or any product that can protect your skin from the sun and other harsh elements. You might also want to bring your shampoo, soap and toothbrush or toothpaste, so you will feel good after you changed into your dry clothes after the trip. Leave behind your facial moisturizer, lotion and other unnecessary items. Also leave your phones, laptops, ipads and other gadgets. You will not have the time to use them while you conquer the river’s raging rapids.
Last but not the least, listen to your guides and hold on to your paddle. More importantly, enjoy the ride!
