Duckies are best described as a cross between white water rafting and kayaking. The actual ducky is a bit like a fat inflatable kayak, which usually take a couple of people. They are fairly sturdy little beasts and are often used on the same stretches of water as used for white water rafting. To keep you safe and in control an experienced white water kayaker will provide safety and guidance alongside you. These inflatable crafts are easily maneuvered around the water, enabling you to hit all the rapids on your way down the river.
When can you do it?
Duckies generally run all year round and if you are into the adrenalin rush, it is often better to do it after heavy rain when the rivers can get extremely hairy. During the summer months the duckies are often used on dam releases to ensure you always get the maximum thrill.
