Top Tips For White Water Rafting

To make sure your white water rafting experience is a success and you can fully immersive yourself in the experience, here are a few top tips:

Wear the right clothes - It might sound obvious, but you'll get very wet on this experience! Under your waterproof gear, it's best to wear synthetic materials as they dry quicker and wearing enclosed shoes is important. Depending on the time of year, you may need to wear a wetsuit to protect you from the cold water. Also bring a towel and warm clothes to change into after the experience.

Wear a helmet - As you would expect, safety is a top priority with this type of water sport so wearing a helmet is essential. There are all sorts of hazards in the water and alongside the water, such as rocks and fallen branches so a helmet will help prevent injury.

Leave your valuables at home - Leave your jewellery and watches at home to avoid losing them or damaging them.

Keep your lifejacket on - Like a helmet, a life jacket is a must. Make sure it's on nice and tight and it'll help you stay afloat should you end up in the water.

Listen to the guide - Very important! Your guide is there to make sure everyone has a great time and make sure everyone is kept safe. Listen carefully to all safety briefings at the beginning of the session, like what to if you fall into the water or if someone else falls in. Pay attention to them during the experience too as they will be guiding you through the rapids and telling you when and when not to paddle.

Enjoy your white water rafting experience! - It can seem very daunting to begin with so make sure you ask any questions at the start to put your mind at rest. Once you get going, you'll have a whale of a time so embrace it and enjoy it!
