Paddle Raft Guide Training
Level 2
Esprit's level 2 Guide Training (held in Costa Rica) program builds upon the fundamental skills acquired through the level 1 course. Emphasis is placed upon maneuvering through class III continuous whitewater, advanced river reading techniques, boat positioning, commercial trip operations, logistical planning, multi-day expeditions and advanced river rescue techniques.
The course will provide participants with an IRF certification as a Raft Guide Class 2 (RG2). The RG2 recognizes that upon completion of the Guide Training Level 2 program, participants are able to competently guide a commercial raft in a safety conscious manner on rivers up to class 2. Currently, this course is offered in Costa Rica only.
