Full Session Whitewater Rafting trips for weekends are available as a gift voucher and can be bought now for Christmas!
This is a group whitewater rafting session for a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 7 participants per raft. Everyone must be 12 years old or over, and must be able to swim at least 25m before they can brave the white water rapids in our 14 foot, inflatable raft.
In the two hours you will get as many runs down the river as time allows; this is usually four runs.
Before the session commences you will be kitted out in our safety equipment and compulsory wetsuits (these can be hired from reception on the day; or paid for when you book; or, if you have your own and it is long legged and suitable for the activity you can bring it along). Following this you will attend a full safety briefing with one of our qualified guides, who will instruct your group on both safety and rafting techniques.
You will then be bussed up to the start point where you will begin your first run down the white water course. After each run we will chauffer you up to the top of the river to start another descent. Each trip down will offer new and exciting challenges as you become more confident paddlers and your guide becomes more determined to get you wet!
Remember to smile for the camera on the way down!
Each run down the river lasts approximately 20 minutes, and the whitewater rafting course is around 2km in length. It is a steep, rocky course and the river is classed as a grade 3/4. (This is a worldwide accepted whitewater rating that grades the technical difficulty of white water rapids on a river. Grade 1 is gentle flowing water, and grade 6 is considered commercially un-runnable).
