Defo need someone to help solo folk get in to their suits I nearly gave up but so glad I didn’t x well…”

Our guides (Sammy and Zack) did everything they could to make the experience special. The rafting consisted of three runs through a succession of rapids - brilliant! A short Health & Safety briefing and technical advice ensured that the nervous member’s fears were overcome. It was exhilarating, great fun and not as cold as we thought (wet suits are provided). Give it a go - you will not regret it.”
