White Water Rafting Experience for 2

Whitewater rafting is rightly up there as a ‘Must-Do’ sport, largely because it is undescribably brilliant! This heart pumping experience is undoubtedly one of our most popular and most high-adrenaline sports, labelled ‘fear factor’ for all of the right reasons. Whether you choose to raft down the wild and unpredicatble river or across the thrilling purpose-built course, you are guaranteed the ride of your life! Read more about White Water Rafting with our Interview with UK White Water Rafting Team.

Agenda

Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre your experience will begin with a briefing about safety and white water rafting techniques, then it's on with your safety gear and you're off, as your qualified guide takes you and your fellow rafters down a varied white water run in an inflatable six or eight man raft. You may get more than one run dependent on conditions and time. Each boat is contolled and guided by an expert instructor with lots of experience.

On your hair-raising journey you are encouraged to work together as a team to bump and glide your way along the river’s natural course, attempting to tame the wild and very challenging river rapids. This experience is great for team building or social parties as the mixture of reward and pure fear brings the highly adrenalised crew closer together! No amount of words can do rafting justice - experiencing it is the only way to enjoy this fantastic adrenalin sport!
