White Water Rafting Session

Description

Thunderous noise, churning water, rapids all around you - some serious teamwork is vital to get you through it all. This is the unbelievable thrill of white water rafting.

You can raft on man-made rapids, which are guaranteed to give you lots of white water excitement! Alternatively you can try white water rafting in the Scottish Highlands where you will enjoy the excitement of this sport in beautiful, unspoilt surroundings.

For natural rapids, white water rafting is dependent on water levels and therefore can only run if the water is high enough. We ensure that you have a thorough safety briefing and that you are professionally looked after by a qualified instructor. Then you enjoy travelling down river on the raft.

For man made rapids, the session begins with a safety talk and tuition to perfect your paddling technique. Then, under the guidance of your qualified instructor, you and the rest of the group will travel in an inflatable raft up to 5 times in this 2 hour session.

This is an activity of sheer excitement - you will love it, although you are bound to get very, very wet!

Programmes and timings may vary according to location.
