Included on our trips

Your rafting booking includes a licensed, qualified guide, transport for the rafting outing, a life jacket, helmet and paddle. Hotel pickup is included where the location permits; collection may be from your hotel or the nearest suitable meeting point. Confirm the actual pickup arrangement in advance.

Water and a waterproof bag for a phone are available. Storage for luggage and extra clothing can be arranged on request. The phone bag is for a phone, not general luggage, and is not a guarantee against damage or loss. Photos and videos cost extra.

Eligibility and guide assessment

Our participant age bracket is 14–60 years. Participants must be healthy; people with heart or lung problems are not eligible under our booking requirements. Tell us about any other relevant health, mobility or swimming concern privately before paying. Age eligibility alone does not guarantee participation: the guide must also assess suitability, equipment fit and conditions.

We operate with licensed, qualified guides. A registered, certified guide provides the pre-trip briefing; life jackets, helmets and paddles are supplied and safety-checked. The required no-claim/consent form is completed before departure. Read safety.

Shared or private arrangements

Solo guests can join shared departures with at least four participants to run. Groups can request a private raft in advance; ask for capacity, total price and exact arrangements through group rafting.

Kaudiyala: advance group booking

Kaudiyala rafting is available on advance group booking, like Marine Drive. Contact us with your date, group size and experience for detailed route information, reporting and transfer arrangements, eligibility assessment and the tax-inclusive quotation. Read Kaudiyala rafting.

Confirm before paying

Advance payment is required to reserve rafting. The advance is non-refundable for customer cancellation. Refunds or a transfer/rescheduling of the booking may be provided only when weather problems affect the trip, subject to confirmation by the team. Read the cancellation policy before paying.
