The ability to swim is not essential; however non-swimmers should inform the Trip Leader at the briefing

* The oarsman for the trip explains what to do if the raft flips, how to help each other out of the water and what conditions to expect. He always gives the wors t- case scenario so that people know what to expect from the trip and, therefore, have the choice to forego their trip after the safety talk

* Once in the raft, you are instructed by your oarsman as to how to negotiate the rapids and some practice is done before you set off

* You are also briefed before each rapid on how the raft is expected to react

Remember
• National Parks River Usage Fee is NOT included in the price
