Safety and Equipment on Rafting
The equipment and the safety guides for rafting
On every rafting trip, safety is our top priority. We employ international guides to ensure that international safety standards are met on every trip. The wetsuits are designed to keep you warm and your life jacket will keep you afloat even if you cannot swim well. You will be asked to wear a helmet on all river trips.
Lifejacket
Our Coast Guard approved life jackets will keep you afloat, and our guides will show you how to "swim" a rapid feet first should you pop out of the boat, as well as offer many other safety measures.
Please note: our lifejackets are rated to work for persons no heavier than 280 lbs and chest size no larger than 52 inches. We are skilled at working with many different disabilities. Please check with our office if you have questions about medical or physical concerns.
