Difficulty Level & Safety
Before the rafting trip starts on the river, the necessary safety information and the best possible paddling technique are reviewed. Rafting is a team activity where everyone must work together to steer the raft in the direction the guide wants.
The guides are professional, with extensive experience from around the world and specialized training in river rescue. Each guide has also completed a first aid course and has certified rafting training or relevant experience.
The river is classified as moderately difficult.
