It starts in the morning with a briefing where rafters are given the choice to choose between which grade, they would like to do. Those who are not comfortable going for grades 4 and 5 can opt for grades 2 or 3. There is also a `family float designed for families which is slower and avoids the intense rapids. After the briefing, rafters are given safety gear including helmets and waterproof jackets to wear. And then white-water rafting begins.

You will also be able to encounter locals fishing, people enjoying horseback riding, and many other activities.
