This carefully guided rafting activity is perfect for both first-timers and people who enjoy being on the water, offering an engaging mix of river sections, exciting paddling, and beautiful natural surroundings. 🚩 BEGINNING — ARRIVAL & SAFETY BRIEFING Before your rafting adventure, make your own way to the Kitulgala meeting point where our professional guides will welcome you and check you in. You’ll be fitted with all necessary safety gear — including life jackets and helmets — and receive a clear, easy-to-follow briefing on paddling, river signals, and safety procedures so you feel confident on the water. 🌊 RAFTING THE KELANI RIVER (6 KM) Once everyone is ready, you’ll board a sturdy raft and begin your 6 km rafting journey down the Kelani River. Together with your group and guide, you’ll paddle through a mix of river sections — from calm stretches to several notable rapids that give the experience its character — while taking in the lush jungle scenery on both riverbanks. 🛶 GUIDED SUPPORT ON THE WATER Throughout the rafting route, your trained river guide will give you direction and support, helping you navigate each rapid and paddle in rhythm with your team. This makes the activity enjoyable for beginners and experienced participants alike, and ensures everyone stays safe and well-informed as you move downstream. 🏞️ WATER VIEWS & NATURAL SCENERY As you float downstream, enjoy the serene forested environment, calm river pools, and river sounds — a unique way to connect with Sri Lanka’s nature. You may even see wildlife and birds along the river edges as you make your way toward the end of your rafting section. 🍽️ FINISH — RETURN TO MEETING POINT Your rafting journey ends back at the same meeting point where you started. Here, you can rest, share stories with your group, after your time on the river. After the activity concludes, you will make your own arrangements to depart and continue your day.
