What you will do

5 hours 30 minShared tourMax 40 travellers

The tour begins at our raft base where you will check in and fill out a waiver. Once everyone is at the base, you will be introduced to our guides and given time to change into your wetsuits provided. The busses will then be loaded and you will head off to the river. At the river, the guides will get the rafts and gear ready. There will be a safety briefing and some time to practice your commands. From there- it's time for some fun! Enjoy the adrenaline rush of crashing through exciting rapids. We will provide a light snack half way through the trip, and then you will hop back in the rafts and continue your adventure down the mighty Elaho river.
