Back To Experiences For Him

Rafting

You want extreme? Squeeze into that buoyancy aid, strap on the protective helmet and grip your paddle very tightly - you're going for a wet and wild ride! After a briefing and technique familiarisation session, you take the plunge down river. Great fun! 

What's included

Rafting for 1 and 2:

  • Training from an experienced instructor
  • Safety briefing and issue of buoyancy aids and helmets
  • Introduction to correct paddling techniques and commands
  • One or more river runs depending on local water conditions
  • Allow 2 hours for your visit
  • Experience gift pack including smart wallet, personalised voucher and message card
  • PA cover to a value of £50,000 plus cancellation indemnity

What happens on the day

Prompt arrival is essential – if you miss the 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.
