What does RAFT mean in UNCLASSIFIED

To go white water rafting you will need an inflatable boat, lifejackets and helmets, paddles, appropriate attire such as wetsuits or drysuits, waterproof bags to keep all your belongings safe. You will also need a crew of at least four people including yourself.

White water rafting can be dangerous as it involves navigating down fast flowing river rapids with unpredictable waves and currents. However, if done with the proper safety protocols and equipment overseen by experienced guides who are trained in rescue techniques, white water rafting can be a safe and enjoyable experience.

The cost of white water rafting varies depending on the length of trip, location, type of equipment rented or purchased, guides needed, and so forth. On average you should plan to spend anywhere between 5-0 per person for a half day trip.

When going whitewater rafting make sure to dress appropriately in either a wetsuit or drysuit. Other items you might want to bring include sunscreen, sunglasses/retainers for glasses, snacks/water bottle, hat/baseball cap with brim, swimsuit (for underneath the PFD) towel & personal toiletries if necessary.

Different levels of rapids are suitable for different levels of experience so it's important to select the right river for your group's adventure level. Rivers like class III-IV rapids on the Nantahala River or Big Pigeon River in Tennessee or class IV-V rapids onthe Chattooga River in Georgia are some great options!
