Whitewater rafting
Fancy a team challenge that doesn't involve the words 'pub' and 'quiz'? How about climbing into a large dingy and taking on some whitewater rapids? It's all for charity.
Messing about on the whitewater river
Raging torrents, plunging waterfalls, jagged outcrops - not your picture-postcard image of the Great British waterways. But it's all out there just waiting to be taken on. We'll supply the whitewater raft, paddle and an instructor to guide you through the rapids. You just need to supply the nerve.
It is without doubt one of the most exhilarating ways of getting downstream and each of our whitewater rafting locations has a different set of challenges for you to face.
But wherever you embark on your journey, you're guaranteed at least two hours of rapids, racing and general wetness. A truly fast and furious adventure.
