White Water Rafting Experience - Man Made Course

White Water Rafting Experience - Man Made Course

Experience the rush of the Whitewater river rapids on Northampton's man made course. Designed specifically to test Kayaking and Whitewater Rafting techniques, the centre offers a great experience in a safe, purpose built environment. In teams of 6 people, you will be frantically trying to keep the raft on course and keep the whole crew inside the raft as it hurtles its way down the course! An amazing experience that is a proven team building / 'fear of the water' conqueror!

Agenda

Your experience starts 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 guided by an expert instructor.
