About this Activity

Work up a sweat and burn off some steam!

You'll gear up for a half-day trip that takes you over many exhilarating rapids, gives you a great opportunity to relax and soak up some sun and plenty chances to jump in the river for a refreshing swim! Travel through exciting rapids and drift through placid pools or get in a water fight with the other rafts.

You'll munch on fresh fruits, vegetables, cookies, salads and some tasty BBQ for lunch. Take in the beautiful river and digest before hopping back on your raft to take on famous rapids like Surf City, Oak Springs, White River, Roller Coaster, The Elevators, Sandy's Hole and several others.

Stop several times to surf the waves and swim through a rapid (if you are up for it)! Catch a ride back to the meeting site where you can purchase pictures from your trip.

Riding the rapids is fun, but the nap on the ride home will be even better.

Note: Please list down the name and gender of participants in the special requests box. Not recommended for participants with back problems.
