What is a safety kayak and is it provided during the 24km River Rafting?
A safety kayak is a small, agile kayak paddled by a trained rescue expert that follows the raft throughout the entire journey. It is positioned to respond immediately if anyone falls off the raft during a rapid. The safety kayak can reach a person in the water far faster than the raft itself, making it a critical part of river safety on longer and more intense stretches like the 24km Marine Drive route. Yes, a safety kayak is provided and accompanies every raft on this stretch at no extra charge.
