WHAT IS RAFTING?


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.
