White Waters

It hosts over 600,000 people a year and has a 4.2-star rating on Google. The health and safety of the guests is the top priority, so you each get an inflatable safety jacket and a helmet along with knee pads and elbow pads if you want them. You'll be taught how to paddle, how to steer the raft, and how to maintain balance. An instructor will be with you at all times, directing the route down the white waters. It's super good fun with lots of splashing, ripping through the current, and jumping over the edge of small waterfalls. The whole family can be on one raft, or you can split up into smaller rafts to have a race.
