Enjoy a two hour white rafting experience in one of the locations listed below, with full training and safety briefing and all the correct buoyancy aids and helmets supplied. You will get to go on one or more river runs in the raft (depending on weather conditions) and will receive instruction on paddling techniques and rafting commands.

What happens On The Day

Prompt arrival is essential - if you miss the whitewater rafting safety briefing you will not be able to raft. When you arrive, you will normally be asked to sign an indemnity form which will also require parental/guardian signature for under 18's. As part of a small group you will be given an initial group briefing, and then issued with the necessary safety equipment and buoyancy aid. Instruction in the raft, including paddling technique and commands. Then a run down the rapids.
