Gift Ideas > White Water Rafting Experience
Enjoy an adventure - white water rafting on fast-flowing rapids as part of an eight person team!
Our White Water Rafting experience, perfect for beginners or casual rafters, is exciting, challenging, fast-action fun! Each carefully chosen location offers a combination of fast-moving white-topped rapids and calmer flows on both man-made and natural courses.

Then it's off for your first wild and exhilarating run down river, so prepare to get thoroughly wet! At the end of the run, full of excitement, you'll be transported back up to the top of the course, and do it all over again!

Introduction and full safety briefing, training by professional white water rafting instructors, all necessary equipment, 2 or more runs of the course (depending on location), de-briefing and dry off back at the centre, White Water Rafting experience of approximately 2-3 hours.
