Great fun with engaged guides. The river itself is not very challenging with respect to river rafting. If you are freezing easily or do this in cold weather, make sure to bring something to wear under the provided wetsuit. Most of the fun activities involve jumping into the water (cliff jump, hopping off the raft etc.) and you will get wet!

The white water rafting was awesome. Perfect for those who haven’t done it before or for families. (If experienced it might be a little tame). The company set up was really good with lots to do (inc food) at the base with amazing hot tubs at the end with lovely views over the fields. The guides were friendly and experienced. I would 100% recommend booking this excursion!
