Rafting Safety

Guides:

Please note that when it comes to rafting in Dandeli, whether you have rafted here before or are prepared to do so for the first time.

• Listening to Guides is the best safety gear you can equip yourself with.
• Your guide knows the whats, hows, whens, wheres, and whys thoroughly. Attend the orientation for rules and regulations before setting out on the river to make sure you understand everything. You are encouraged to clear out any doubts you might have before the rafting trip starts.
• The guides provided for the rafting trip are all certified in the sport and approved by the Government of Karnataka. They have years of experience guiding groups on the river and safely bringing them back to the shore.
• Our guides are enthusiastic individuals who love to deliver you the experience of a lifetime. Put your trust in your guide and follow every instruction your guide delivers while rafting.

Gears:

• Just like we wear helmets while riding a motorcycle or buckle our seats while driving, it’s a no-brainer that an activity like rafting requires specific safety gear.
• You are not required to purchase or arrange any safety gear needed for the sport of rafting. We provide everything, from the raft and paddle to your jackets and helmets.
• The only thing you need to make sure is that the gears fit you tight yet comfortably. For the life jacket, ensure it has a good grip on your body and that the belts are adequately packed.
• Ensure you can breathe easily and move flexibly. Also, ensure that the headgear or helmet sits tight and comfortably on the head.

Preparing the Mind:

You are all set to partake in river rafting in Dandeli. You have been excited and chosen to make the most of it. Now, all you need to do is:

• Keep your mind calm, avoid panicking, and trust the process.
• Think straight as it demands a clear head and a calm mind.
• Experiencing your first rapid or falling out of the raft can be overwhelming. In such an instance, do not panic. Keep your calm, hold onto the rope tight, and trust your guide.

Other Tips:

• Keep a firm hold on the paddle.
• Have a good grip with your hands and feet, and sit comfortably.
• Refrain from carrying valuables onboard.
• Do not indulge in any alcoholic substance or drug. Being intoxicated during the sport may prove fatal.
• Please bear in mind that resorts and other accommodations offer illegal rafting services at a lower cost and duration. These services are not approved by the government and are conducted without following the proper safety rules and regulations. Rafting conducted by raftingdandeli.com is the only legal rafting in the town.
