How strenuous is Whitewater rafting?
You will be active, but if you are in moderately good physical condition, the challenge will not strain you. There is little danger if you follow the safety rules in Whitewater rafting, do what your guide tells you and don't try to swim or paddle beyond your skills.

What about children?
It is a fascinating, rewarding experience for a child who is prepared for an outdoor challenge, and who can easily adjust to the company of adults and the discipline that water and river safety requires. The minimum age of children is 10 (water level dependant) to run the larger rapids. The minimum age of children on the raft is 5; they will walk around the larger rapids.

Am I going to get wet, and how should I dress?
Yes. Water does splash on you. Wear shorts and t-shirt and shoes that can get wet but won't come off your feet. Foot injury is the most common injury, from walking around on uneven terrain and broken glass. Shoes should be worn at all times. Bring a glasses strap, sunscreen, a sun hat, a towel, a change of clothes, a camera and a sense of adventure.

What do I do with my camera?
You can purchase many one-use waterproof cameras from your local store. You can bring a small camera with you and ask the guide to put it into one of their waterproof containers, though we will not guarantee it stays dry. If you have an exceptionally valuable camera, leave it at home.

When is the best time to go on a Whitewater Raft trip?
Rafting trips are run all year round.

Does weather affect our rafting trip?
Whitewater rafting trips go rain or shine! And with complimentary splash jackets, a rainy day on the river is just as fun and just as wet as a sunny day!

Is rafting dangerous?
Rafting is thrilling, exciting, wet, wild and unbelievably fun. However, as with all adventure sports, there is inherent risk involved. That risk contributes to the excitement, and is one of the reasons people enjoy rafting so much. Our guides are trained to minimize and manage risks, and, statistically, you're safer in a raft than in your car. One government report noted that the injury rate for whitewater rafting is similar to that for bowling! The most common injury on most rafting trips is sunburn, and most other injuries occur on land, especially getting into and out of the boats.

What are my chances of falling out of the boat? What should I do if I do?
Believe it or not, many people love falling out of the boat. It's exciting. But it can be disorienting and a little overwhelming at first. Many people have taken multiple trips and never fallen in. Some people swim on their first trip. It's all a part of rafting. Before you go on any trip, you'll be given extensive instructions on what to do if you fall in, and how to stay safe. Follow your guide's instructions, and your "swim" could be the most exciting part of your trip and a great story to tell your friends afterwards!

What is Class I-V?
River rapids are rated on a scale of I through V -with V being the most difficult.

Should I bring anything to eat?
Lunch and beverages are provided, either before or after rafting. Bring any other snacks that you would like (chocolate, etc.). 

When are deposits and final payments due?
Deposits are not required unless otherwise stated. Final payment is due on or before the trip date.

What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash and cheques. We do not accept credit cards.
