Traumatic experience.
White Nile Rafting Limited的点评
点评：I‘m sorry to give this experience a one star rating and have never done that before but I think it is necessary to share my experience as I would have wanted to be better informed before going on this tour. I went on the tour one month ago on the 20th of October, there were three of us, me, my boyfriend and my aunt.
We are all from Iceland and are all taught to swim at a very young age so we are very comfortable in water and are used to difficult and even dangerous conditions in nature. I work as a guide and have tried almost all activities available in my country, snorkelling in ice-cold water, white water rafting in glacier rivers, ice climbing etc.
That being said I felt confident going on this white-water rafting tour, we looked at the reviews and saw that this was a well-established company with overwhelmingly positive reviews and decided to book the half day white water rafting tour.
All three of us had a traumatic experience on the tour and thought we were going to die. It was just us three on the raft and our guide and the raft was big enough for 12 people, then there were two safety kayakers and one safety raft.
The raft capsized 3 times, the first time in a grade 4 rapid, the current was very strong, but we were wearing life vests and helmets and we all shot up to the surface quickly after going into the river and we all came out laughing, it was fun...
Come next rapids, they are grade 5, I must admit I did not know that there was such a huge difference between the grades but anyway, we go down and paddle as fast as we can when our guide tells us to and ‘get down‘ when he tells us to and the boat immediately capsized in the worst rapid, we get sucked down into the current, I feel someone landing on top of me but all I could think about was getting air but the force of the water was stronger than the buoyancy of the life vest so it took a few seconds for me to shoot up to the surface and when I did a big wave landed on my face, at this point I have swallowed a ton of water and finally I float out of the worst of the rapids in total shock the safety boat and kayaks come and get me and I get pulled up on our own raft where my boyfriend and our guide are but we can’t see my aunt anywhere and a different kind of panic sets in.. a few seconds later we see her with a kayak all the way up in the river close by where we had all been sucked down. When she gets into the raft, she is bleeding from her foot as the toenail on her big toe has come loose and is hanging on only by the roots off the nail. My boyfriend was disoriented, and his head was hurting as he hit it on something in the water on his temple below the helmet.
The guide gets the first aid kit from the safety raft and puts bandages around my aunt’s toe and afterwards he tells us that we have on more grade 5 rapid to go through.
My aunt had been sucked down into a whirlpool in the rapids for a much longer time than me and my boyfriend and she almost passed out, she was injured and had we not all been in a state of shock this is where we would have and should have stopped the tour, not that we were ever given the option… At this point I knew that we were all lucky to have gotten out of that and there was not a possibility in my mind that things could get any worse, come the next rapids.
I assumed that our guide would lead us down a path in the river where the rapids wouldn’t be at their fiercest and maybe he tried that, but we end up in the tallest rapids and we obviously did not have the weight nor strength to row through them, the boat goes up 180° and then backwards back into the rapids and we end up getting stuck in between them, they throw the boat around for about 40 seconds, back and forth during which time we held on as hard as we could choosing every breath between splashes of water. As we are thrown around in the boat I feel my toe bend in an unnatural way but I could not let go off the rope as I did not want to end up in the water again, then I feel the floor rip underneath me and I start to get sucked through the floor of the boat I still held on to the rope even though the force was so strong that my shorts got sucked right off me, at this point I knew I couldn’t let go I could get stuck on my life vest, finally the boat capsized and I was upside down submerged with my feet through the floor, thankfully I didn’t get stuck on anything and my feet slid out of the boat but then the next battle for air began in the rapids.. The raft was torn in three places but it still floated and we finished the tour.
I have never hyperventilated before or had a panic attack, I’ve injured myself snowboarding and experienced a healthy amount of fear but never have I nor my travel companions experienced anything like this.
The crew was very positive about the whole thing, we were trying to ask if this was normal and they just kind of laughed it off maintaining the attitude that nothing had really gone wrong.
We are all alive and only sustained minor injuries, we went to a hospital where my foot was x-rayed, my big toe was broken, and I had a minor fracture in my left rib cage and my aunt’s toenail was looked at and she will hopefully grow a new one.
We do believe the good reviews on the companies site but our experience was nothing like that and after talking about this and watching the videos of the trip (the camera man was always located on the river bank next to all rapids) our conclusion is that we were simply too few on the raft to be able to paddle through rapids of this magnitude and that we should not have been so few in the raft or that we should have walked passed the grade five ones (like we did with the grade six ones, which were basically waterfalls).
In any case I hope this helps some people to make a more informed decision on whether they want to raft the grade five rapids in the White Nile.

翻译：很抱歉给这次体验打一星，我以前从未这样做过，但我认为有必要分享我的经历，因为我想在参加这次旅行之前更好地了解情况。我一个月前于 10 月 20 日参加了这次旅行，我们三个人，我、我的男朋友和我的阿姨。
我们都来自冰岛，很小的时候就学会了游泳，所以我们在水中很自在，也习惯了大自然中艰难甚至危险的条件。我是一名导游，几乎尝试过我国家提供的所有活动，在冰冷的水中浮潜、在冰川河中漂流、攀冰等。
话虽如此，我对参加这次漂流之旅充满信心，我们查看了评论，发现这是一家声誉良好的公司，评论绝大多数都是正面的，于是我们决定预订半天的漂流之旅。
我们三个人在这次旅行中都经历了一次痛苦的经历，以为我们会死。木筏上只有我们三个人和我们的导游，木筏足够大，可以容纳 12 个人，另外还有两名安全皮划艇运动员和一艘安全筏。
木筏翻了三次，第一次是在四级急流中，水流非常急，但我们穿着救生衣和头盔，进入河中后很快就浮出水面，我们都笑了起来，很有趣……
接下来是五级急流，我必须承认我不知道不同等级之间有如此巨大的差异，但无论如何，当我们的导游告诉我们时，我们尽可能快地划桨，当他告诉我们“趴下”时，船立刻在最急流中翻了，我们被吸进了水流中，我感觉有人落在我身上，但我所能想到的只是呼吸空气，但水的力量大于救生衣的浮力，所以我花了几秒钟才浮出水面，当我浮出水面时，一个大浪打在我的脸上，此时我已经吞下了大量的水，最后我漂出了最急流，完全震惊了，安全船和皮划艇来救我，我我们被拖上了我们自己的木筏，我的男朋友和我们的导游在那里，但我们看不到我姑姑的身影，一种不同的恐慌袭来……几秒钟后，我们看到她和一艘皮划艇一起在河里，就在我们被卷入的地方。当她上筏时，她的脚正在流血，因为她大脚趾上的趾甲松了，只剩下趾甲根部还在。我的男朋友迷失了方向，他的头很疼，因为他的太阳穴在头盔下面的水里撞到了什么东西。
导游从救生筏上拿出急救箱，给我姑姑的脚趾包扎好绷带，然后告诉我们，我们还要经历更多的 5 级急流。
我的阿姨被卷入急流漩涡的时间比我和我的男朋友长得多，她几乎昏过去，受了伤，如果我们没有处于震惊状态，我们就会也应该停止这次旅行，尽管我们从来没有选择过……此时我知道我们都很幸运能够摆脱困境，而且我心里想，情况不可能变得更糟，下一个急流来临。
我以为我们的导游会带我们走一条急流不那么猛烈的河道，也许他试过了，但我们最终还是来到了最高的急流，显然我们没有足够的体重和力量划过它们，船向上旋转了 180 度，然后又倒回急流中，我们最终被困在它们中间，它们把船甩来甩去，大约 40 秒，在此期间，我们尽可能地抓住船，在水花飞溅之间选择每一次呼吸。当我们在船上被抛来抛去时，我感觉我的脚趾不自然地弯曲，但我无法松开绳子，因为我不想再次掉进水里，然后我感觉脚下的地板裂开了，我开始被吸进船底，我仍然抓住绳子，尽管力量太大，我的短裤被吸了出去，这时我知道我不能松手，我可能会被卡在救生衣上，最后船翻了，我头朝下沉入水中，脚穿在地板上，谢天谢地，我没有被任何东西卡住，我的脚从船里滑了出来，但随后，在急流中又开始了一场争夺空气的战斗。木筏被撕成了三处，但它仍然漂浮着，我们完成了这次旅行。
我以前从来没有过度换气或惊恐发作过，我滑雪时受过伤，经历过相当程度的恐惧，但我和我的旅伴从来没有经历过这样的事情。
工作人员对整个事情都持非常积极的态度，我们试图询问这是否正常，他们只是一笑置之，保持着什么都没有发生的态度。
我们都还活着，只是受了点轻伤。我们去了医院，我的脚做了X光检查，大脚趾骨折了，左肋骨轻微骨折，我姑姑的脚趾甲也做了检查，希望她能长出新的。
我们确实相信公司网站上的好评，但我们的经历却并非如此，在谈论这件事并观看了这次旅行的视频后（摄像师总是待在所有急流旁边的河岸上），我们的结论是，木筏上的人太少了，无法划过这种规模的急流，我们不应该在木筏上这么少，或者我们应该走过五级急流（就像我们在六级急流上做的那样，它们基本上是瀑布）。
无论如何，我希望这能帮助一些人做出更明智的决定，决定他们是否想在白尼罗河上漂流五级急流。
