White Water Rafting & T Shirt Package - Penrith
Experience the excitement of 21st century white water rafting on an Olympic class, purpose-built white water course. This action-packed introduction to white water rafting takes place under the friendly guidance of highly trained white water rafting guides. All trips begin with a safety briefing followed by flat water instruction before venturing onto the turbulent white water.
Penrith Whitewater Stadium is the only facility of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. It's a man-made white water river which was the competition venue for the canoe/kayak slalom events during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. The course has been constructed using a combination of both natural and man-made material to recreate the characteristics of a natural white water river – perfect for white water rafting.
A u-shaped concrete channel varies in width from eight to 14 metres, is 320 metres in length and drops 5.5 metres from top to bottom. A moveable obstacle system allows a variable force of white water to create the perfect whitewater rafting environment. Once you reach the bottom, a brief ride along a conveyor belt brings adrenalin-pumped paddlers back to the top to start white water rafting all over again! This package includes a specially designed, high-quality cotton white water rafting t-shirt.

It was probably the most fun and adventure I have packed into a couple of hours! I was able to confront one of my biggest fears and am so grateful for such an exhilerating experience!
