Rafting is the sport of boating down a raging river and is inherently dangerous. The attraction of rafting tours is due in part to the thrill of paddling through the rapids. There is no technology that can make rafting 100% safe in a natural environment, and neither our company nor our guides can erase this danger in advance.

During the rafting tour, there is a possibility that you may fall into the water or capsize due to unpredictable and sudden changes in conditions.

During the rafting tour, guests are exposed to various risks. Unforeseeable and sudden changes in weather conditions may cause you to fall overboard or capsize. This could result in injury, drowning, or in the worst case, death, if you collide with a natural or man-made obstacle such as a rock, a tree hidden in the water, or are caught in a swift current formed by such an obstacle.

Although we and our guides analyze and estimate the situation to reduce the above risks, we cannot eliminate the risks. No perfect technology exists to do so. In order to minimize these risks as much as possible, we strive to improve the skills and knowledge of our guides and provide them with appropriate safety equipment.

You also have a responsibility to follow the instructions given by your guide in order to reduce your own exposure to risk.
In addition, the rivers where rafting takes place are wilderness areas, sometimes surrounded by cliffs and other obstacles on both sides, and sometimes there are no medical facilities nearby, so it may take longer than in urban areas to receive medical attention in the event of injury.
Please understand the above before participating in this tour.

The above does not limit the liability of our company and guides.
