It Is Time For something New: Rafting In Nova Scotia

By Jonathan Inca

Rafting on the rivers around Nova Scotia can be very different to the rafting we find in the United States of America. Nova Scotia rafting is unique in that down its rivers there can be places where tidal waves can form! At times it is even possible for waves as high as 16 feet to form around you.

If you are looking for a rush of adrenaline this is the place for you to go. Catching the highest tide will provide you with the most white water rafting fun in Nova Scotia. It is possible for the level of the river to rise up to 30 additional feet during the course of time you are rafting.

These tidal waves really do add to the overall excitement you can obtain from white water rafting. It is important to note though that some of these rivers or sections of them are too dangerous for children and for people who have not had the appropriate training and experience.

Finding the Right Rapid for You

It goes without saying that there are going to be a range of different rapids that requires less or more experience. Some will be okay for most beginners whereas others will not.

You need not worry about not being able to find gentle enough rapids for your enjoyment and that of your family, you will find that there are already a whole range of different rafting trips in Nova Scotia prearranged for different skill levels.

On the high-end if you are searching for the more aggressive rapids you should not have any problem finding good packages as well, however for most of these you will be required to be at these 12 years old. These rapids are certainly action packed, but you will still be able to enjoy a pretty awesome scenic view.

If you already have experience, white water rafting in Nova Scotia can offer you a more intense rafting experience. Continuous white water action on the highest possible tides offers fun and excitement to the seasoned rafter.

White water rafting in Nova Scotia can offer you a new and different experience for your nature-oriented outing. You can sightsee, relax and enjoy the ride or you can choose to hit the non-stop white water. - 15438
