RAFTING
FOLLOW THE LEADER
Rafting can get intense,
especially when you make
your way down to the river
and encounter some strong
rapids. It is in these types of
situations where you have to
follow and trust your guide to
be prepared for what the river
has in store.
Always pay attention to
your guide’s briefing before
every rafting journey! During
the briefing, the guide will tell
you all the safety instructions
and procedures as well as
paddling commands to get
everyone in sync when you
are out rafting.Sail into RAFTING
DRESS FOR THE
OCCASION
You need not dress to impress
when rafting. When you’re
out in the river, you are bound
to get soaked. We suggest
wearing clothing that would
tend to dry fast such as
t-shirts and shorts made out
of dri-fit fabric, as long as
you avoid materials that get
heavy when wet—cotton and
jeans—you are set to go.
As for shoes, a pair that
stays on your feet at all times
is highly recommended. That
means, no flip-flops. Go for
some water shoes or reuse a
pair of old sneakers that you
wouldn’t mind getting soaked
in the water.Not your typical day of sailing. By Julia LachicaGET READY FOR A
WORKOUT
Despite being on a raft with
numerous adventurers, the
raft needs to be powered by
every single individual in the
raft and not just the guide.
So get ready for an arm
workout. White water rafting
does not require you to be
an expert in rowing but it
does help to have a little bit
of extra upper-body and core
strength.A COMPLETE TEAM
EFFORT, white water
rafting is an exhilarating
experience best shared with
your bundle of loved ones.
This thrilling activity does
not need much, apart from
a few things such as your
attire and ability to swim;
white water rafting is bound
to leave you wanting more.
