I have always wanted to go white water rafting but have been too intimidated by it. My body/weight issues kept me away from trying all my adult life. (Too big, not healthy enough, have to fit into a wet suit, etc. ) I’ve inner-tubed down rivers in Oregon and Idaho - simple floats with friends, but never white water rafted.
So why not try it in Bali?!?! 😄 Today we went! The rapids were fairly simple, just class 1&2, but good enough for me for a first try. The water was refreshing, and not too cold. No wet suits needed here! And … we got to sit in the front!! Couldn’t have gotten much better. It was a kick in the pants. We met some very nice people - a man from Ireland and two ladies from Amsterdam and our Balinese guide was fantastic as usual.
TravelerAwesome!! just another thing I dd not know about you. I assumed growing up in Oregon, that white water rafting would just be a "done it a long time ago" thing.....but Good For You!!
Christie MitchellNope, never as a kid or growing up …. Rod did it a lot before we got married, and then he always scared me off from it - said I wasn’t in good enough shape to do it and I’d probably get hurt. ??? Then screwed my knee up and … that was a decade gone. 😂 so, no, never went. And honestly, these were pretty tame rapids. Some might argue I still haven’t “gone white water rafting” because it was so mild, but it was a good for me. 😃
