Can I bring my children on this trip? How about senior citizens?

We have taken quite a few families on whitewater rafting trips. It is a great experience for families as the rapids are fun and the risk factor is manageable. Children have to be good swimmers and 12 years and above. They must be accompanied by their parents or a legal guardian. As for seniors, we've taken a 65 year old mom on whitewater trips!

When do you run these activities? Is it every week-end or is it by appointment only?

We can run trips anytime to suit your group. You have to book ahead of time with the Nomad Adventure office.
