Additional Information

The Ultimate Session stands out in the UK by offering uninterrupted world-class rapids, with minimal flat water in between! A dam release ensures the rapids are consistently high-quality. (Other UK rivers can’t guarantee this due to the unpredictable British weather!)

Your adventure kicks off and concludes at our riverside center, where you’ll be equipped with thick 4-season wetsuits and full safety gear. Following a brief instructional session, we’ll transport you to the river’s head, where a powerful 9 cumecs of pure mountain water begins its journey through ancient woodland.

This is the premier whitewater rafting experience in the country, led by guides with international expertise. Over the course of 3 descents, you’ll engage in play, freestyle, and surf down fast, pristine whitewater, with each run becoming more thrilling and challenging.

A fantastic choice for a rainy day activity, the weather won’t drench you more than we will! On a hot day, nothing feels more refreshing than navigating rapid after rapid.

This is an authentically wild day out!

Brilliant time at the centre - Honestly so much fun. The whole team at the centre were friendly and helpful. All motivated and hyped up the activity ahead. The guide on the raft was great. Felt like in safe hands the entire time and made sure we all had fun. Catered the experience to each person in the group to meet their skill level and confidence. Will be back and highly recommend for everyone to try out.

Exhilarating Family Adventure - Fantastic family experience led by an amazing instructor My family (5) had an exhilarating 1/2 day on the rapids, courtesy of this non profit organisation. Our instructor, Zack, had exactly the right approach to ensure an exhilarating three rides down the white water. We left soaked, physically revitalised and keen to return next year. Thanks to all who run the centre and make it such a wonderful place.

Smashing experience in stunning location - What a great experience in a beautiful setting. Knowledgeable staff gave great training and helped us to have an amazing time rafting. Shout out to Morgan and Oli. Morgan is close to finishing her training and we felt safe and comfortable with her guidance. Lots of laughter and fun was had in our raft. Thank you.

Great activity that’s run well - Great fun, good instruction (thanks Harry) friendly staff…good facilities for changing, car park busy but adequate. Worth having a pair of socks, that will get wet, under the shoes they provide…just so you don’t feel quite as communal if that’s your thing. I think my one suggestion would be that, as is often the case you can buy a load of photos at the end of the experience…as group of six it would be good if there was option to split the cost of the whole group chipped in, as you would split a bill in a restaurant, that might stop one group buying and emailing the others in the group and make the transaction a little fairer for all…it wouldn’t cost the provider and makes sense for the customer…great photos and worth getting.

Very fun - Very fun place to visit, something new to do as I have never done something even close to this but it was a huge surprise because at first I was scared to go but as I was doing it I was so ashamed that it lasted so short. Honestly one of the best hour of my life I’ve ever spent. Highly highly recommend it.

Great experience for all! - Great experience led by George who was fab! Wet and wild, and fun for kids and adults - felt safe, but not too safe, and each ride down this section of river was different.
