Stuff to know for your visit
We know that going to a new place brings up a lot of questions. Here's some of the key information for your visit.
How does the day work?
You'll arrive 30 minutes before your session to get changed and begin the excitement. Our Raft Guide will introduce themselves and take you through a safety briefing to get your group ready. You're then ready to hit the water. Your Raft Guide will take you into our Lagoon to show your the ropes and how the boats work.
Then it's time to tackle the Rapids.
Expect twists, turns and a whole lot of fun! After you've tackled the course, get changed and chill out with a drink at the beautiful Holme Pierrepont Country Park.
