A Fabulous Family Activity

John_W, Jul 2025
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.

It's wonderful to know that you were "not disappointed" and that our guides, Sammy and Zack, went above and beyond to make the experience truly special for everyone. Three runs through that succession of brilliant rapids sounds like the perfect way to celebrate! We're particularly pleased that our Health & Safety briefing and technical advice helped to overcome any nerves, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and confident. It's fantastic that you found it to be exhilarating, great fun, and not as cold as you thought – our wetsuits do a great job!

The friendly staff and great atmosphere was top of the list and the rafting for my other half’s birthday made his day. The food after was fantastic and a great place to be… Thank you
