white rapids-full story

Because of late confirmation, our original plan of 8 am was moved to 11 am. So the sun was already high so I covered myself with more cloth to shield me from the scorching heat. We gathered in Divisoria where we waited for everybody to arrive. The team who facilitated the activity asked us to sign an agreement that includes statements such as that we came in our own freewill, that injuries may result along the course and our personal belongings are our responsibility.


From there, we traveled for an hour to the starting point but we dropped by the endpoint to get rafts and things necessary for the activity. While everything was being loaded in the jeepney, we took the chance of hanging the zip line where we really had fun.

Finally we arrived at the starting point. After we have put on our helmets and life jackets, we were given basic course about it like the three parts of a paddle-blade, shaft and the tie grip. The basic paddling strokes were also taught and most especially the safety in the water tips. And so the adventure began. There were 14 rapids along the way. The first one really took our breath away since being first timers we did not what it’s gonna be like. One gets to experience different things in the various rapids. We were allowed to take a plunge in the water. Our guide Jong did made a good job in giving us one great time-adventure and knowledge since he mentioned lots of things worth knowing along the way. The exciting activity ended after 3 hours with big smiles on our faces.
