The ultimate beach team building activity – raft building on a beach in Hua Hin, Pattaya or Koh Samui!
We challenge your group to build a seaworthy vessel out of nothing but a few pieces of bamboo, rope, and some floats. But this isn’t just any ordinary raft building team building activity. Oh no, we will add a little twist to spice things up. You’ll have to race your rafts through the choppy waves while keeping your team and your precious cargo afloat. Ok, just kidding about this part!
So, grab your sunscreen and get ready to make some waves as you embark on a journey of creativity, communication, and a healthy dose of good old fashioned fun. Let’s see who has what it takes to be the ultimate raft-building champion!
Raft Building Equipment
Equipment: bamboo, rope, paddles and floats. The floats are usually barrels (non chemical types) PVC pipe, or rubber inner tubes. (This dependent on your location and budget) The first team to complete their raft gets bonus points. Each raft is then subject to a safety check.
Safety Checking Your Raft
We will test each raft before allowing them into the water. A few flips and shakes should tell it’s stability and if it’s going to survive the waves! Once all rafts have passed the safety requirements team takes their raft down to the water’s edge. This could be on a beach, lake or sometimes the local hotel pool.
This part of the event is the most fun. Teams climb onto their rafts in the hope that their raft doesn’t fall apart! Rafts must be large enough to carry 4 team members. A series of races and relays will see how long these rafts will last. Could this be a case of sink and swim and will your team make it back to the beach.
