숙련된 리더와 함께하는 안전하면서도 박진감 넘치는 래프팅

실제 래프팅 시간은 45분에서 1시간 정도 소요됩니다. 전체 시간은 대략 2시간반이며, 처음 30분은 등록 및 오리엔테이션 시간이고, 왕복 30분(각 15분씩)은 실제 래프팅 장소로 가기위한 차량 이동시간이며, 1시간은 래프팅 시간, 이후 30분은 복귀 후 복장을 갈아입고, (원하는 분들에 한해) 사진을 찾는 시간이라고 보시면 될 것 같습니다. 모든 크루들은 상당히 숙련되었으며, 실제 탑승인원은 7명(직원 1명 포함)인데 6~7m 폭포 하강 시 3명이 보트에서 이탈(위험하다기보단 해당 폭포 래프팅은 그러할 수 있음)했음에도 침착하게 보트에 다시 탑승시키는 등 짜릿함과 안전함을 둘 다 갖춘 매우 훌륭한 경험이었습니다. 래프팅을 안 한다던 와이프, 그리고 20살된 아들 모두에게 좋은 경험을 갖게 해주어 만족스러운 경험이었습니다. 다시 한 번 카이티아키 어드벤처 직원들에게 감사합니다.

Family friendly!!

Had an absolute blast out on the water. Our guide Drax really took his time to explain and educate us. Allowing us the opportunity to have the safest and most fun out on the water. My parents both 50+ and have never white water rafter before. Had the most amazing experience of their lives and felt very accommodated and safe.
