im a raft guide in idaho springs colorado and this is the perfect video for people looking into rafting. everything you said is on point, the only thing id say you left out is to let people know to never wear cotton! dont show up with cotton!)

My father took me and my siblings on this same river white water rafting to celebrate my 15th birthday. I remember listening to the guides instructions in the beginning as to what to do if you fall out and I remember think ha not me. Well I fell out on a very fast moving rapid and thanked goodness I did listen, I kept my feet up and moved with the water. Even though I had the helmet and the life vest on I was pulled under a few times just moving rapidly with the water bobbing up and down. It was pretty scary. But at the end of the day it was the best adventure/birthday I’ve had. That was back in the 80’s.

This is honestly reassuring and makes it a lot less intimidating then my mind is thinking. I am doing a family rafting 2-3 in about a week and I’ll try sitting in the back. I’m not adventurous nor really a strong swimmer. I was reassured by the company via email this would be fine for this particular course. But thanks again for this video! Very well made! Looks like y’all had fun 😁

Omg first timer river rafting and i found a tour here in California. My overweight @$$ is mortified but cant let fear stop me!

You deserve millions of subscribers thank you for showing this

Thanks for sharing !!

Great vid! Comprehensive and useful! 👍🏻

Thanks so much for this! I’m going on the lower gauley with adventures on the gorge this weekend and it’s my first time, so it’s nice to watch this and have an idea somewhat what to expect (since I’m admittedly nervous)

thanks mate 👍

My husband and I wanna go water rafting this coming summer, and we live in Alaska. This video is awesome and gives me an idea of what to expect from us to prepare for this type of adventure.

Just came across this as I want to go whitewater rafting in Kentucky next year (I live in Australia). It was very informative, thank you!

I’ve been whitewater rafting in Colorado,but rafting the Grand Canyon tops the bucket list! Thank you for showing this. I’m hoping to go in the next couple years. I’ll totally be one of the people in the front of the raft. I’m a total adrenaline junky. The stronger the rapids the better!!! It looks like you enjoyed this trip! I’m so happy for you!

Awesome video! Going to Tennessee and first timer. Nervous because my daughter is not a swimmer. (They said she will be fine 🥴)

I did this in Alberta Canada this past summer and it was amazing! We had to wear wetsuits though because the water was about 4 C (39.2 F)

Good video mate, love from Nepal 🇳🇵

my training to be a river guide starts in a week... I've never been rafting 😭 hoping it goes well lol

I had a couple of friends that were killed doing this!

what run was this?

I'm doing this in a few hours. Im not as nervous now.
