Thunderous noise, churning water, rapids all around you & some serious teamwork is required 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 or Welsh mountains, where you will enjoy the excitement of this sport in beautiful unspoilt surroundings. For natural rapids, white water rafting is dependent on water levels & therefore can only run if the water is high enough. We ensure that you have a thorough safety briefing & that you are professionally looked after by a qualified instructor. Then you enjoy travelling down river on a beautiful raft. Typical Programme For man made rapids the session begins with a safety talk & tuition to perfect your paddling technique. Then, under the guidance of your qualified instructor, you & 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 that you will love, although you are bound to get very, very wet! Duration & Group Size The total experience lasts Approx. 2 hours at manmade venues & 2 to 3½ hours at the natural. There'll be a maximum of six others on the raft with you.
