Overview

White Water Rafting is taking the world of watersports by storm, as it’s the perfect blend of adventure and exercise.  Featuring turns, twists and all of the excitement you can handle, a CIWW White Water Rafting session is ideal for thrill seekers and is a great way to put your skills to the test!

What is White Water Rafting?

White Water Rafting is a group activity, which involves navigating calm water and raging rapids in an inflatable boat called a white water raft, which can carry between two to eight people on board, depending on its size. You’ll have a qualified guide steering and giving commands.

you will be assigned a professional guide whose role is to determine the best route, ensure you know how to paddle and instruct you how to stay safe on white water course.

As part of your white water rafting equipment, you would be given paddles, wetsuits and helmets, as well as buoyancy aids. All coaching and specialist equipment is provided.

Is White Water Rafting safe?

Before setting off White Water Rafting, you’ll be given protective equipment including a wetsuit and helmet to keep you warm and protected, as well as a buoyancy aid to keep you afloat if you fall out of the raft.

You’ll also receive a full briefing on how to stay safe on the water, which covers where and how to sit, how to hold your paddle, the safety commands that the guide will call out, how to swim safely if you do fall out, how to pull others back into the raft, and what to do if the raft flips upside-down.

CAN NON-SWIMMERS GO WHITE WATER RAFTING?

Swimming skills are not a requirement for White Water Rafting. Wetsuits and buoyancy aids provide floatation, so they’re able to offer this activity to non-swimmers and swimmers, alike. We do advise that you let your guide know beforehand if you can’t swim, so they are aware that you may need extra help in the water.
