Hi there. I'm asking on behalf of a friend. He is type 2 diabetes and is very interested in the rafting excursion.
Do any of you guys know any reasons why this couldn't happen?

Big thanks
Darren

We were in Icmeler last week and wanted to do the rafting too.We were told that you cannot do the rafting any more because they have built a dam on the river they use.Wether this is true or not,I don't know,but a couple of different tour reps told us the same thing.

Hi Darren,
My son has Type 1 Diabetes, (controlled by insulin), as long as he monitors his blood sugars, and has the nerve :wink: :wink: there is nothing he can't do. My son has done, Wake boarding, Snow boarding and High Speed Driving, (Lamborghini / Ferrari) at 115mph.

I wonder if anyone from ICR can confirm that the rafting has ceased as its still in their excursion list.
Thanks
