What happens on the day?

No experience is necessary for this fun filled activity but a sense of adventure is a must. Following instruction from one of the expert guides, it’s straight into the adrenalin action of your first wet and wild run down the course. Depending on the location you choose, you may tackle challenges such as the ‘Cheesblock’, the ‘Looping Pool’, the ‘Muncher’ or the ‘Washing Machine’ in these fantastic rafts, this is an experience you won’t forget in a hurry.

White water rafting is a real adventure and the custom built courses in Nottingham or Northampton are as challenging as the natural white water in Scotland or Wales and whichever you choose you’re bound to face steep drops, tight turns and masses of white water. You will be provided with helmets, buoyancy aid, paddles and all safety equipment you will need to get out on the water.
