Why Try Water Rafting?

• Adrenaline Rush: Conquer Class II–IV rapids like “Butter Crunch” and “Rafter’s Quarter,” each a heart-pounding dance of spray and speed.
• Spectacular Backdrop: Towering rainforest, misty mountains, and water-carved gorges create a movie-set ride (Kitulgala hosted scenes from The Bridge on the River Kwai).
• Team Bonding: Perfect for families, friends, and corporate groups—synchronized paddling turns strangers into a high-five crew.

Highlights of the Experience

• 8 km Rapid Run: A 60–90-minute descent tackling seven major drops and a string of playful wave trains.
• Body Surf Section: Cliff-jump or simply float into calmer turquoise pools between rapids.
• Rainforest Trek Add-On: Hike to a hidden waterfall or canyoning slot for a multi-sport day.
