river rafting

Rapids on inflatables

River rafting is the recreational activity of navigating a river on an inflatable raft, typically through rapids or whitewater.

The term emphasizes the waterway rather than the conditions, making it slightly broader than whitewater rafting, though the two are often used interchangeably: We went river rafting on the Colorado.
