Fantastic River Bugging - Phoned up Splash on the day, hoping they could squeeze us into something adventurous and they didn't disappoint. A couple hours later we were River Bugging which was a new experience for us both. Dean and Xan were fantastic with out group and made it fun, exciting and safe for us. Would recommend to anyone hoping for a bit of an adrenaline rush and a fun activity.

Such fun - Didn't know what you expect. The seats are similar to a cut down inflatable canoe Such gun. Started tame and then slowly built up. Instructors Bonnie and Freddie were brilliant 👏 Thank you

Great fun family day out - We had a great fun family day out with our teen daughters. Really well organised trip and great instructors who were really enthusiastic and helped us throughout the morning. Highly recommend the river bugging which was so much fun going down the rapids. We will definitely book with splash again as we all want to try some of their other activities.
