Cost - White Water Rafting
|
Do I need to own a raft
In the vast majority of instances, rafting is done under the guidance of experienced guides. They are there to ensure that this dangerous sport remains fun and to resolve a problem if a (rare) accident does occur. Also, they have the transport and manpower to move these craft in and out of the river gorge or canyon (not something to be taken on lightly).However, some intrepid people want to white water raft by themselves. The best place to start for this type of adventure is with the book The Complete Whitewater Rafter as it covers all.What will it cost
The cost is largely dependent on where you choose to go and for how long. Trips might be just for one day and cost £50 ($75) or a complete holiday many miles away might set you back up to £1,000 ($1,500). Either way, to estimate the cost you should consider the following: - Flight/ transport
- Rafting company cost (often charged per day)
- Spending money (needed mainly before and after the trip)
- Equipment purchase (this might consist of clothes and minor items)
- Equipment hire (in a few cases you may need to hire camping equipment)
- Permits and visas (remote places - such as Nepal require visas and permits which can get expensive)
