What to expect on a white water rafting trip

If you never have gone white water rafting and you’re not sure what to expect, Dream Car Rentals luxury car rentals says here are some basics about this adventurous sport. White water rafting takes place on rivers – specifically rivers that have rapids. Here’s some background on rapids:

Rivers with steeper gradients usually have more rapids.

If you want to experience some first class white water rafting, Colorado River (through the Canyon River) ranks among the top rafting experiences in the country.

Rapids are classified on a scale of 1 to 5. Class 1 rapids are a bit more exciting than a calm river. Class 5 rapids are much more wild and will get your heart pumping.

During your white water rafting trip, you’ll likely encounter numerous boulders and layers of bedrock that are part of the river’s path. Due to these materials, rafters will come across swirling or funneled water, natural ramps, and sudden drops in elevation.

What to expect on a white water rafting trip:

• You will have to paddle.
• You will need to show up sober and will need to stay sober.
• You don’t need special preparation or training, but it is useful to know how to swim.
• You should let the guides know if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or injuries that might affect your performance.
• You should be a team player. When you are arranging for the rafting trip, make sure you have some compatible friends who are levelheaded.
• You should listen carefully to the instructions and tips the guides give at the beginning and throughout the trip. Guides will teach you how to paddle and how to handle the various classes of rapids.
• You should dress appropriately for the trip. If you’re going in the fall or spring, make sure you’re wearing wool socks or a wool pullover sweater. In the spring, you’ll likely have to wear a wet suit. Dream Car Rentals luxury car rentals note that spring rains and melting snow means the water will be cold in March, April and even May.

What if you have an emergency?

First of all, remember never panic. Remember your guides are equipped with first aid and emergency equipment. Many tours have lead guides that are in kayaks equipped with buoys, ropes and lifesavers. You’ll also be required to wear a life saving flotation device. If you fall out of your raft, float downstream on your back until a guide can get to you.
