River tubing is
an exciting way to experience various attractions. It provides enough fun and
adventure and allows room for teams, kids and even the elderly. The first step
in ensuring you enjoy your experience is picking the right river tubing site.
Get a site that is licensed and offers a range of water activities including
diving and snorkeling. A good site should be accredited and should offer PADI certification to scuba divers.
This way you are assured of high level facilities and the availability of
professionals should anything happen in the river. Other tips include:
1.
Get the little ones fitted with life-jackets.
Given the changes in river current, you want to be prepared should the kids
slip off the tubes. Life-jackets also allow your kids to have safety confidence
hence enjoy the trip too.
2.
Avoid letting the current push you through
narrow passages or under rocks and trees.
3.
Drink lots of water to remain hydrated
throughout and you can also take snacks for the trip.
4.
Avoid negative effects from the sun by applying
sufficient sun block. You can also get a hat and a pair of sunglasses.
5.
Remember to get good water shoes for the trip
for both comfort and safety. Equally important is an extra pair of changing
clothes.
6.
If you are bringing your own tubing gear, get
yourself a rechargeable DC air pump to allow you to inflate and deflate the
tube as you want.
