Overview

White water rafting is one of the most challenging water based activities available in the UK, but don’t let that stop you! You're heading towards danger in the form of rocks and branches, cold water is spilling in over the sides of your boat, everyone is gripping on tight and paddling as fast as they can... you’re confronted with a wall of white water. Will you make it through?! Experience the incredible excitement and adrenaline rush you get from either a specially constructed man made course or the wicked wildness of the UK’s natural white waters.

What happens on the day?

Before you can get started you’ll need to kit up in the safety equipment and listen to a quick briefing.

After this you’ll follow instructions from one of the expert guides and jump straight into the wet and wild action down your chosen course. Depending on the location, you may tackle challenges such as the “Cheeseblock”, the “Looping Pool”, the “Muncher” or the “Washing Machine”.

Bouncing about in these fantastic rafts, this is an experience you won't forget in a hurry. Be prepared to face steep drops, tight turns and masses of water! You won’t be alone in your adventure quest - there should be up to eight other thrill seekers in your crew.

Selected dates depending on location. At some centres rafting activity is seasonal, to take account of water conditions and levels therefore some centres are closed for a few months in the winter, but booking offices are usually open during this time.

We recommend you book at least four weeks in advance to ensure that dates are available before the expiry date listed on the voucher. All bookings are subject to availability.

Please allow approximately 2 hours for the whole experience.

What about insurance?

The centres contracted with us hold public liability insurance. We also hold contingency liability cover. You will not be liable for accidental damage to equipment, except where damage has been caused as a result of recklessness or wilful negligence.

Please ensure you are familiar with the terms and conditions of the experience.

How it works

All you have to do is pay for the experience you wish to purchase and we’ll send a voucher and booking information to you or directly to the recipient, then you just need to check the info and book your experience.

White Water Rafting is, without a doubt, simply awesome! We made our way to the National Watersports Centre in Nottingham to “cruise” down the River Trent. Do not be fooled, this is no “cruise”, more a “rodeo on water” and a great team event! The instructors are great fun and really look after you, so you feel 2safe” while riding the rapids. The main message is “don’t lose your paddle”! Get to the front of the boat for the most fun, it actually is fun being swallowed by the water, honest. You won’t be able to wipe the smile off your face, which is lucky as a photographer follows the raft to capture the moment. The hot shower at the end is the best you’ll ever have!
