Rio Grande Rafting is Djurs Sommerland's whitewater rapids ride located in the park's Westernland area.
In common with many rapids rides, visitors are seated in six-seater circular raft boats which navigate down the river coming aross various patches of white water rapids as they go. There's also a dark tunnel, a waterfall and various themed scenes such as an Indian village and a Cowboy town.
As rapids rides go, Rio Grande Rafting is toward the drier side. There is the potential for a few waves to make their way into the boat, and occasionally a rider will be unlucky enough to get a splash down their back or a water spray in their face, but overall its well pitched for the Danish climate and it isn't soaking wet.
Rio Grande Rafting is a fun ride, and thanks to its nicely themed scenes it gives an entertaining journey down the river and over the not-too-wet sets of whitewater rapids.
