We were celebrating a 30th birthday with the family and wanted an activity that would be memorable for everyone.
We were not disappointed!
Our guides (Sammy and Zack) did everything they could to make the experience special. The rafting consisted of three runs through a succession of rapids - brilliant!
A short Health & Safety briefing and technical advice ensured that the nervous member’s fears were overcome.
It was exhilarating, great fun and not as cold as we thought (wet suits are provided).
Give it a go - you will not regret it.

I was very nervous about the activity until I actually did it. After the first round, I wanted to do more. Special thanks to our instructor, Charlie, he was awesome! His instructions were very helpful, and he made the whole adventure feel easy and enjoyable. I would definitely do it again. All the staff members were so helpful and friendly.

We can't wait to welcome you back for another round soon!
