Once at the starting point, your guide will help you put on the safety gear and prepare the raft for your trip.

Please don’t forget to collect these back after the trip.

The activity will commence with a briefing session by your guide to familiarize you with basic rafting, navigation techniques, and the necessary safety guidelines. We strongly recommend that you pay full attention and follow your guide’s instructions carefully throughout the trip for a safe and enjoyable experience.

Your exciting white water rafting adventure finishes on arrival at NIM Beach, preceding Laxman Jhula.
