Itinerary Details

Whitewater rafting is a fantastic, adrenaline pumping experience that requires no special skills (apart from an ability to swim) and can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age or previous experience. Grab your paddle, jump aboard and enjoy the ride!

It is also a great way to get a different perspective on a country, as you ride the churning waters. Tana River Rafting is a ‘pool/drop’ river where areas of calm water, perfect for viewing the wildlife allow you to catch your breath after navigating stretches of class II to V white water. It provides a truly spectacular day of white water rafting. Depending on water levels you’ll raft 8-16km of river. The trip starts with 3km of easy class II and III white water, with plenty of opportunity to gain practice in the paddle skills required to run the lower part of the river. A calmer 6km section follows, and a tranquil hour or so marveling at the abundant bird life .

Here you can cool off with a swim in the warm water.
