Getting ready for a rafting trip: what you need to know
Rafting is a team sport that is practiced aboard special rafts. It consists in descending the course of a river, overcoming rapids and other natural obstacles. A raft can carry a crew of 6 to 8 people, including an experienced guide who gives the commands.
Rafting is an activity for everyone. No specific skills are needed to practice it, just good water skills. Equipment is provided by the rafting center. You only need to bring your own towel, bathing suit and sneakers that you’re okay with getting wet.
