Speaker A
Our trip with this company started with manually dragging our boats round the
first Beginner’s Luck rapids. Well, I fell on the rocks while doing this and injured
my elbow. This company has a strange view on safety! Our guide, with 9 years of
experience, did nothing to prevent our boat from being turned upside down,
throwing all three of us into the water. So I am begging you: do yourself a favor –
please use another boating company!
Speaker B
This trip isn’t about being rowed down a river. You will paddle, feel pain and get
bruises. You wear a helmet and life jacket for a reason. You need to be at a basic
level of physical fitness; there is some climbing up and down rocks and on uneven
ground, and it’s slippery. You need to paddle sitting in an awkward position. You
have to be able to get up and down quickly. You have to listen and respond to
directions. If you really can do that, sign up!
Speaker C
At the end of the day, don’t be lazy. We’re all tired; we’re all sore and bruised, so
what? Help take your boat up. Not doing that is considered rude. And please don’t
be pessimistic, gloomy or unpleasant because it may annoy the people around you
who are trying to hear the guides and have a fun day with family and friends. Kids
can go too, but they need to be at least 90 pounds, or at least twelve years old, and
they need to be good swimmers and listeners.
Speaker D
I’ve gone with this company twice now and I enjoyed it both times. There are
several rafting companies out there but you won’t meet personnel as qualified as
you meet here. These people are doing what they love. I would not take these trips
without a guide as I’d kill myself. They get you down safely and allow you to have
fun between the rapids! Food was good and every time we passed another outfitter,
it became evident we chose the best one!
Speaker E
There is a common assumption that life jackets keep your head above water at all
times. WRONG – they are constructed to be able to float in water, so in any case
you will pop to the surface. But waves and river currents are strong enough to take
you under water for brief periods. A good rafting company typically provides a
course on how to breathe strategically in rapids, but most beginners usually forget
all that in the panic of being in the water.
Speaker F
I almost got killed in a white water rafting trip. This is how it happened. I rafted a
very fast river. The guy in front of me lost his footing, banged into me and we both
fell in. Our boat panicked, so we were rescued by another one 10 minutes later. We
were heavily injured and I was barely conscious. My life jacket did NOT protect
me from going under the crashing pull of white water. Don’t listen to those who
say that rafting is safe, it is dangerous!
