seasons
- For first timer its easier to try whitewater rafting in the dry season as you don't have to fight the current. Rafters will have to use smaller rafts in the dry season cause the current is not strong enough to carry the bigger raft.
- During the raining season, (only for experts) it would be very exciting time for whitewater rafting, as the current becomes stronger and sometimes the river will become grade V which is very strong.

- Grade II Easy rapids with waves up to 1 meter and wide, clear, channels that are obvious without scouting. Some maneuvering is required.
- Grade III Rapids with high, irregular waves often capable of swamping an open canoe. Narrow passages that often require complex maneuvering.Rapids may require scouting from shore. Boaters in kayaks should have the ability to Eskimo Roll.
- Grade IV Long, difficult rapids with constricted passages and often turbulent waters. Scouting from shore is necessary, and conditions make rescue difficult. Generally not possible for open canoes. Boaters in kayaks should have the ability to Eskimo Roll.
- Grade V Extremely difficult, long and very violent rapids. Highly congested routes which always should be scouted from shore. Rescue conditions are difficult, and there is significant hazard to life in the event of a mishap. Ability to Eskimo roll is essential for boaters in kayaks.
