Wide clear channels; occasional maneuvering; rocks and medium-sized waves are easily avoided by trained paddlers; risk to swimmers is low; assistance is helpful but rarely needed. Grade 3 - Intermediate. Rapids with moderate, irregular waves which may be difficult to avoid and capable of swamping a canoe; complex maneuvers in fast current and narrow passages require good boat control; large waves, holes and strainers may be present but are easily avoided; powerful current; scouting advisable; swimmers are unlikely to be injured but assistance may be needed to avoid a long swim. Grade 4 - Advanced. Intense, powerful rapids; turbulent water; may involve long, unavoidable waves, holes or constricted passages demanding fast maneuvers under pressure; may require "must" moves above dangerous hazards; risk of injury to swimmers in moderate to high; group assistance to swimmers requires practiced skills. Grade 5 - Expert. Long, obstructed, turbulent rapids; drops may contain very large unavoidable waves, holes or steep congested chutes with complex demanding routes; several of these factors may be combined at the upper level of this class; rescue is extremely difficult; above average rescue skills are essential.

Difficulties of Class V are carried to the limits of navigability; very dangerous; risks are high and rescue may be impossible; for teams of experts only under favorable conditions.

a good physical condition and water confident is recommended. Lifejacket limitations
are a maximum girth of 52". For any medical conditions
that may be affected by strenuous activity please consult your
doctor. IF YOU ARE PREGNANT, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE!
What should I wear?Two sets of clothing - One 'Wet' set for
the river rafting - long or short sleeved T-shirt; boardshort; long
pant; short pant and anything comfortable. Another 'Dry' set
for return. Jeans are not recommended! A pair of shoes that
will stay on your feet are recommended. Wetsuit or booties (or
both) is an added advantage.
What happens if there is bad weather?Rain: Trips go rain or shine. You are
going to get wet anyway so why not enjoy your river trip. Rainy
days also provide some of the most beautiful scenery as fog
and mist rise off the river.
Lightning: In the event of a locally severe lightning storm, trips may stop and pull over on the bank. Exposure while on the river is at a minimum because of the high ridgelines and trees that surround the river. Trip starts may be delayed if a storm is occuring at the rafting center. High Water/ Dry: If the water levels on any of the rivers exceeds safe levels or dry, trips may be cancelled or relocated to another river. In the case of a trip cancellation, guests are offered the option to reschedule or receive a full refund. What meals are provided and what is for lunch?Lunch is included in all our rafting trips:
Lunch consists of a sandwich, cheese, meat, condiments and fixings,
pickles, chips & salsa, fruit, veggies, trail mix, cookies
and a drink. (The exact menu varies slightly depending on the
trip).
What factors determine the age/weight requirements?The line has to be drawn somewhere. We
have seen kids below the minimums that were perfectly capable
and we have seen kids that meet all the minimum requirements,
but still are not ready!
The determining factors usually revolve around the likelyhood of a flip or swim and at what age a child listen to and understand instructions. Can the child understand the dangers? Does the child have enough size or body fat to have control of their body in cool water? Can the child rescue themselves or will the parents be so concerned about a young child they put their own health at risk? Minimum ages and/or weights are usually set by the Chief Guide who regulates each river. OXBOLD will not knowingly take an underage person on our trips, we do ask and we do require a signature from a parent signifying proper age. Should you push the limit with your child? No, it is not worth the risk! What does the package rate cover?Kampar River package rate covered: White
water raftting gears (paddle, 'PFD' Life Jacket & helmet),
rescue & emergency training and equipment and end of the run buffet lunch, Rafting
guides & service of raft captain and river guides.
