点评:5 of us booked a rafting excursion on the Arkansas River in Colorado. It was a great experience as we went on over 10 mile long river raft with class 2 and 3 rapids. It was safe for kids over 8 years. Our river raft guide Xander was skilled, knowledgeable and experienced and did a great job navigating and keeping us all safe. During our ride, we saw 3 big horn sheep at the side of the river, and even were able to jump out of the raft for a swim in safe areas. I liked that the rafting company was a local small business and wasn’t overbooked like some bigger and corporate companies. Each raft can do up to 6 riders plus a guide. In our group we had 5 in one raft and 4 in another. The rapid areas were fun and you did get splashed. The company does provide helmets that you must wear and a personal floatation vest. You can also check out a 2 piece wet suit if you don’t like getting wet. We opted for the afternoon ride and we were on the river by around 2:00 and concluded around 4:30. The 2 groups were driven by van for about 15 min. to the launch point and were picked up down river at the end of the trip via same van. Each rider received a full safety briefing and how to use the paddles and when. Everyone has to paddle, but they can make special arrangements for those with medical or injury conditions. The beginning was slow, lazy and relaxing, then picked up about midway with majority of the class 3 rapids being towards the end. Price was reasonable at around $80/person, for the 3 hour trip. You can get Groupon discount by contacting the rafting company directly they will honor or beat the Groupon deal that is available at the time. Also the class two or three Rapids change depending on the season or time of year with the river being higher in the June early July time frame then in August when we went but we still had a great time. I highly recommend Wolfpack rafting and we will definitely use them again in the near future as I get more family members to come up to do this.
翻译:我们 5 个人预订了科罗拉多州阿肯色河的漂流之旅。这是一次很棒的经历,因为我们在 2 级和 3 级急流中漂流了超过 10 英里长的河筏。这对 8 岁以上的孩子是安全的。我们的漂流向导 Xander 技术娴熟,知识渊博,经验丰富,在导航和确保我们所有人安全方面做得很好。乘车途中,我们在河边看到了3只大角羊,甚至还能跳出木筏在安全的地方游泳。我喜欢这家漂流公司是一家当地的小企业,并没有像一些更大的公司那样超额预订。每个木筏最多可容纳 6 名骑手和一名向导。在我们的小组中,我们在一个木筏中有 5 个,在另一个木筏中有 4 个。快速区域很有趣,你确实被溅到了。该公司确实提供您必须佩戴的头盔和个人漂浮背心。如果您不喜欢被淋湿,也可以试试 2 件套潜水服。我们选择了下午的骑行,我们在 2:00 左右到达河上,并在 4:30 左右结束。 2组由面包车驾驶约15分钟。到发射点,并在旅行结束时通过同一辆面包车顺流而下。每个骑手都收到了完整的安全简报以及如何使用桨叶和时间。每个人都必须划桨,但他们可以为有医疗或受伤情况的人做出特殊安排。开始是缓慢、懒惰和放松的,然后在中途开始,大部分 3 级急流都接近尾声。 3 小时的行程,价格合理,每人 80 美元左右。您可以通过直接联系漂流公司获得 Groupon 折扣,他们将兑现或击败当时可用的 Groupon 交易。二级或三级急流也根据季节或一年中的时间而变化,六月初的时间框架内的河流比我们去的八月份更高,但我们仍然玩得很开心。我强烈推荐 Wolfpack 漂流,我们肯定会在不久的将来再次使用它们,因为我有更多的家庭成员来做这件事。
