Weekday Whitewater-Rafting Adventure and Barbecue Lunch on the Kennebec River from U.S. Rafting in West Forks (62% Off)
Although thrilling, whitewater rafting also imparts essential survival skills for escaping a flood or malfunctioning car wash. Master the foam with today’s Groupon: for $49, you get a weekday whitewater-rafting adventure and a barbecue lunch from U.S. Rafting in West Forks, Maine (a $129 value). This deal is valid Monday–Friday. U.S. Rafting’s guides plunge through the Kennebec River’s Class III–IV rapids, leading fully provisioned rafters of all experience levels on excursions scheduled to fit within daylight hours. Groups arriving at the base lodge are clad in helmets, tossed a paddle, encased in lamination, and whisked to the Harris Dam put-in. Each raft’s group of 8–10 people works together to navigate notable rapids such as Rock Garden, White Washer, and Magic Falls. A hearty barbecue lunch nourishes river masters, reinvigorating them to ride waves or lasso a river sprite. Rafters should take cues on river fashion from the packing list , which includes bathing suits or nylon shorts, noncotton shirts or windbreakers, extra footwear, and sunscreen-dabbled cheeks. A change of clothes for the ride home keeps rafters dry and vinyl seat cushions from becoming slip ‘n’ slides. U.S. Rafting also offers lodging for groups looking to expand their aqueous escapades into lengthier outdoor excursions.
