Do rafting tours take place in rain or bad weather?

Whether the sky is gray or light rain falls does not matter. You wear a wetsuit. You get completely wet anyway. Move through cold water. A little rain makes no difference. Many even say: rain brings more water, more current, more fun.

What really matters: water level
Weather is secondary. Important is river level. After heavy rain or snowmelt, river may carry too much water. If level exceeds safety limit, tour is suspended. Then:

• Safety first.
• Receive replacement date or refund.

Anything else is unnecessary risk. No place for it in rafting.
