River rafting action - Clarens Exciting grade 3 and 4 white water rafting all year round, 365 days a year! Not rain dependant! The Ash river just outside Clarens in the Eastern Freestate is fed by the Trans Caledon Transfer Tunnel, which pumps water from the Katze dam high up in the Maluti Mountains in Lesotho. The crystal clear water flows down the Ash river all the way to the Vaal dam. The day starts with a short drive out to the river, where we do a safety-brief and explain all the do's and don'ts for the days rafting action. Then we get on the water, practice getting back into the raft,just in case someone does fall out, and then within a few 100 metres from the start we hit the first rapid called "Breathiliser" After "Breathiliser" it's action all the way with grade 3 rapids like "Car-wash", "Alles-verloren" and "Alles-gevonden" untill we get to ?!? The Bridge! Here we get out and have a look at the high-light of the day. An awesome grade 4 rapid with the name "Fish-pond rapid" Be scared! VERY SCARED!
Visit some of our friends: After running "Fishpond" we'll gather on the rocks next to the rapid, have some refreshments, and contemplate the wiseness of our actions! Then it's back onto the rafts for more adventure. Next up is the weir. Quite something! Oh yes! After the weir there is another 'small' little rapid, some flat water where some of the biggest water-fights in history have been fought,and then we get to "Big surprise". Wow, what a rapid! We here at Outrageous Adventures are proud to say that we were the first commercial rafting operation to take clients down "Big surprise" and the rest of this section of the river. After "Big surprise" we get out just before the un-raftable grade-5 rapid and have lunch on the banks of the river. After lunch the action is still not over. We get to the waterfall, "The chute" and a few small rapids inbetween. And then at the end of the day, it is a short drive back into Clarens. There you have it, guys and girls, the best 1-day white water river rafting action in South Africa!
