rafting
Whitewater recreation activity
Rafting is the activity of traveling on water using a raft, especially navigating rapids on an inflatable raft as recreation: We went whitewater rafting in Colorado.
The word also describes the transport of logs by floating them downstream, and in geology, the process by which ice carries rocks or debris.
