River rafting is an outdoor activity that involves navigating through rivers using an inflatable raft. Participants typically work together to paddle and steer the raft, often facing various levels of water difficulty, which are classified as Class I to Class VI. The experience can range from calm waters suitable for beginners to challenging rapids for more experienced adventurers.
Safety is a key aspect of river rafting. Participants usually wear life jackets and helmets, and many outfitters provide safety briefings before embarking on a trip. Rafting can be enjoyed on different types of rivers, including whitewater rivers, which are known for their fast-moving currents and waves.
