Maybe turn down the adventure music in the mix because it hides the sound of the rapids, which is plenty awe-inspiring all by itself. Just being near, and hearing without seeing tidal rapids inspires trepidation, especially if you are rounding a point and can't figure out where exactly the roar is coming from.
