Rafting is an outdoor recreational activity that involves navigating through rivers and streams on an inflatable raft. Participants use paddles to steer and propel the raft, often working together as a team. Rafting can take place on various types of water, ranging from calm lakes to challenging whitewater rapids. This activity is popular among adventure seekers and can be enjoyed by people of all skill levels. Safety equipment, such as life jackets and helmets, is typically worn to protect participants. Many locations offer guided rafting trips, making it accessible for beginners and families.
