7am: We started a cold day going to the Crocodile Park for our assembly for the big event for the day - Wild Water Rafting. We were given the orientation about the activities and the unexpected adventure to expect.
WE left at 9:30 am going to our "Put in Area" at Tamugan. Our thrill started to arise as we arrived at the area seeing the running water calling us for the race.
Before we started rafting at 11:00, we were tested and guided on the do's and don't's whenever our boat will capsize or someone from our team will fell off the boat.
We are on our diets but on that day - we were not. All our energies were burnt out as early as the first hour of trip and all we knew was "WE were all hungry, craving for food." We had our lunch near the river bank, it was not only about food that time since we were given the chance to experience nature and be with the nature. Personally I was able to appreciate life while breathing with the green surrounding hearing the songs of the river as it flowed freely.
After lunch, we packed and left nothing on the site. No plastics or anything.(Going Green)
We were also able to see the Monkey Wall and the Vanishing Falls or Ms. Vanessa, our team named her so...lol..Rafting with the Wild Water was not about a race to play but of relationship to build. Seeing the other boat being capsized, we were there extending out paddle and a space on our boat to save them. (Sweet!)
The race was really crazy especially during those times when we had to paddle and row our boat but we can't since the boat is not floating but flying.(Strong) There was a spot there called the "Washing Machine" - It drove our group crazy. We were shouting not only because of the adrenaline rush but for our brain, thinking that we have left our brain at one spot.
I had a bonus that day for being the most noisy team member - I volunteered to row my own boat. I love kayaking for the first time.
We arrived at the final point at 3:00 pm, with a phrase - "WE WANT MORE!"
The P2, 000.00 plus sun burns and sore throat (that's for the shouting!) that I paid was worth spending.
I'm not promoting them but our experience as a satisfied paddlers. Big Five! Hope to be back there for free.?!..lol
