These sports include whitewater rafting, kayaking, and canyoning, where participants navigate through turbulent waters using specialized equipment. The thrill comes from the challenges posed by waves, rocks, and varying water conditions. Safety is a crucial aspect of whitewater sports, as the unpredictable nature of rivers can lead to accidents. Participants often wear safety gear, such as life jackets and helmets, and may take lessons from experienced instructors.
