1. Get Active
An afternoon of whitewater rafting can strengthen your core, upper body, and lower body. The repetitive motions make for a great workout. You can choose the intensity of your workout by rafting at different times of the year with varying conditions. The rough waters provide an intense workout experience, while the calmer waters serve as rest periods in between.
Overall, whitewater rafting can prove to be a great alternative form of exercise that activates core muscle groups, increases your heart rate, and improves agility and endurance. What better place to get your exercise in than nature – a gym with a view.
2. Enjoy the Outdoors
Experience the outdoors from a new perspective. There are plenty of stunning landmarks in Alberta and whitewater rafting can take you on a beautiful sightseeing adventure to see it all. Floating down the rapids will give you a newfound appreciation for mother nature as you paddle through scenic glacier mountains, spectacular waterfalls, and historic rocky shores.
Keep an eye for wildlife like bears, mountain goats, and deer. Be sure to take a look at the skies above from time to time for other wildlife flying above like eagles and over 200 species of birds as you take in Alberta’s iconic sceneries.
3. Boost Your Adrenaline
