In spite of the fact that spelunking, kayaking, and whitewater rafting sounds like they're sports only for the avid outdoor sportsman, they're all pretty safe if done under the guidance of experts...which we had.
Just remember to listen carefully to instructions and know that your guides will be there to help you.

Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: I took a backpack that held enough stuff for 4 days. Bring ziplock bags for whatever you don't want to get wet during the rafting trip.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bathing suits, nylon or polyester rash guards, sandals or aquashoes, a raincoat, and a sarong or malong for changing while you're out in the wild
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: paracetamol tablets in case you get too achy, band aids, betadine, sunblock and insect repellant
Photo Equipment: waterproof cameras are a must. disposable ones are perfect for the job.
Miscellaneous: Flashlights with extra batteries preferably the handsfree ones like our spy kids model. LOL
