White Water Rafting for One
About this experience
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.

“An epic day out ”
Had a great time at Grizedale Forest GoApe. There is a good mix of activities in the treetop challenge including some epic zip wires. Definitely was pushed out of my comfort zone but always felt safe. The kids in our group loved it. There can be a bit of waiting around between the platforms. Our experience lasted well over three hours from start to finish so allow plenty of time. A very good value experience.
What's Included
- Safety briefing
- Buoyancy aids and helmets
- Introduction to correct paddling techniques and commands
- One or more river runs depending on local water conditions
- Experience gift pack including personalised voucher and message card
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.
