Activities really don't get much wetter than this. Grab the opportunity to go Rafting on the UK's premier white water course. We have a wide range of progressive white water rafting activities available, so you can tackle the rapids in an exclusively chartered raft as a group of friends (6 - 8 people), or as an individual to be part of an 8 man team. Not only is our White Water Course amazingly fun, it is also environmentally friendly as it is a man made course powered by a natural river.
Once kitted-up in wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet you will receive a full safety briefing, followed by a straight top to bottom run designed to get you used to the way the boat reacts to the water and the crews movement. From there you will progress to surfing the "Muncher", nose dunking the "Looping Pool" and high siding in the "Tardis".
The white water course that we operate on is 700m of adrenaline pumping action. Used by the British Slalom, Freestyle Kayak and White Water Rafting Teams for training and competition the course truly is world class. Throughout your rafting experience safety is paramount, you will be supervised at all times by one of our highly qualified raft guides who will tailor your session to the crew and ensure that a safe, enjoyable, adrenaline filled activity is had by all.
