 Amazing
Adventures - White Water Rafting
WHSmith adventure box
This is definitely one to try if you haven't
done it before. Experience the unbelievable
thrill of white-water rafting. Go plunging into
the rapids on an inflatable raft, after learning
the necessary rafting techniques in gentle water
with a skilled instructor. Like all of our experiences,
safety is a major concern and forms part of
the initial briefing by a qualified instructor.
You will be provided with all necessary life
jackets and helmets. Using 8 person inflatables
you start off in calm water before plunging
into the falls, rapids, whirlpools and stoppers
of serious white water. Being able to swim confidently
for at least 50 metres is a necessary qualification.
You must also be physically fit and a minimum
of 18 years of age. For older participants please
consult your Doctor for advice on your suitability
for this experience. In periods of prolonged
dry weather or low water conditions may mean
the experience has to be rescheduled so confirm
the day before that all is in order.
