My very first river raft ride. This trip used to be done with bananas until some tourists asked to be taken. Errol Flynn himself had taken a few rides and started organizing them.

Sure looks like a lot of fun - hope it was! :-)

It's loads of fun, but I was on an assignment; conducting a risk assessment of the attraction. Next time, I'll get into the really fun parts of it. The scenery was gorgeous, you can buy stuff from venders on the shore, you can ask the captain to stop at the deep parts to have a swim. I'm going back next time purely for the fun.

I'll see how many of the pictures I can post tomorrow.

Ahh, work before play - understood. Will look forward to the pics!

Its loads of fun, but I'll have to go back to really enjoy the ride. I was on an assignment.
Franklin Newman Mar 31, 2011, 2:06am UTC
Oh my. I'd be too scared to even try it.

They only send out the rafts when the river is calm. It was very lazy that day. There were only brief periods when we had some slightly rough spots.

If Ed McMahon taken a ride, they would have been transporting second bananas.
