Descriptive guide: Rafting is a sport that takes on companionship, team work, leadership and the desire for adventure. It consists of a group riding down a fast river or stream on a raft and security gear. Before riding down any commercial raft, the raft conductor provides all the riders with detailed safety instructions. These instructions are recalled by other conductors at strategic moments of the ride down the river, and adherence is fundamental to the security of the group.
