It’s a Learning Experience.

The Adventure!

If you think about it, almost every part of whitewater river rafting is an adventure. But, here’s the thing that most people don’t realize. It’s not always about what you see, but what you feel that makes the adventure, well, an “adventure.” Adrenaline pumping through your veins as you crash through the rapids. The spray of the river getting in your face. The sudden feeling you get when your stomach drops as you go over a waterfall(even a small one.) No matter what part of the river you are on, who you’re with or what you see, every part is an adventure.

Sexy Guides.

Not all guides look like they’re from the 1840’s about to go panning for gold alright? As silly as it sounds, it’s true. Most river rafting guides work tirelessly in the off-season making sure they are strong enough to handle the raging rapids. And with all of that hard work, their physique becomes something that nearly everyone will notice. So, whenever you’re on an adventure with one, make sure to thank them for all their hard work and dedication to their job! They will all appreciate it!
