Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Numbers Half Day Rafting Trip?

A: Yes, there is an age limit for the Numbers trip. Participants should be at least 12 years old due to the Class 4 rapids. It's a pretty intense experience, so younger kids might not handle it well. Make sure the person you're gifting this to is comfortable with some thrilling whitewater action!

Q: What should you wear for the Numbers rafting experience?

A: You’ll want to wear something that can get wet! The outfit typically includes a swimsuit or quick-dry shorts, and the provider gives you wetsuits and splash jackets for warmth. Don’t forget water shoes or sandals with straps; flip-flops could wash away in the rapids. Sunscreen is a must too!

Q: How do weather conditions affect the Numbers rafting trip?

A: Weather can definitely impact your trip. If it rains too much, they might cancel or reschedule due to high water levels. They usually notify you a day or two beforehand. Just keep an eye on the forecast leading up to your trip; if it looks dicey, check in with the provider.

Thinking about gifting the Numbers Half Day Rafting Trip - who’s done it?

I’m looking at this rafting trip on the Arkansas River for my boyfriend’s birthday. He's an adventure junkie, so I think this would be perfect! I've read about the Class 4 rapids like 'Pinball' and it sounds super thrilling. But I’m a bit nervous about the safety aspect. Did anyone here feel totally safe? What was your experience like with Downstream Adventures?

Can someone tell me what to expect on the Numbers rafting trip?

I’m planning to book this trip for some friends who love adventure. I've never been rafting before, though! What’s it like? How intense are the rapids and do they do a good job with safety? Also, should we be training beforehand or can we just show up and paddle?
