 As the sun starts to shine and morning dew begins to dry you’ll wake up to the sound of the river and smells of a hearty breakfast and freshly brewed coffee. Once everyone’s bellies are full its time to pack up our gear, load the boats and raft. We’ll roar through the rapids and relax in the flats, breaking once at midday for a deliciously fresh and energy packed lunch. After a day of thrills and spills tranquil riverside beaches await our arrival. We camp in style on vast white sandy beaches in tents or simply under the big sky’s starry night- Amazing!!!!. With unity comes harmony so you’re a part of the Drift team from the minute your adventure begins. Under the leadership of our expert staff, you’ll be involved in everything from rigging the rafts, raging the rapids, setting up camp, cheffing up meals and mixing hot drinks fireside. Our pace is a perfect balance of laid back fun and full on adventure. We rage the rapids and when we’re not on the river you’ll have plenty of time to relax, explore remote villages and waterfalls, bask in the sun or enjoy a game of football, volleyball or Ultimate Frisbee. |
