Rafting is one of the sports practiced without harming nature which represents a
most gentlemanly competition.
For centuries mankind has been attracted
by the beauty of rivers and turned them into sources of life. Today, he is in
need of challenging their exuberance and pitting body and mind against this
natural force.
Today, rafting is a popular sport not only in the Western
world but also in Turkey. Rafting is practiced in rapid rivers with 4 to 12
people on inflated boats made of thick latex material. It requires a combination
of man's physical energy, mind, geographical control and physical and
psychological endurance. In this struggle against nature, the only protection
the sportsmen have is life vests and helmets.

Arriving at the goal is
the ultimate fulfillment after struggling against the wild current of a river
despite all difficulties. One experiences with rafting the pleasure of exploring
the unspoiled nature guided by the river.
Rafting is practiced
with no harm to nature, and is truly nature friendly.
