Itinerary
Are you brave enough to tackle the white water rapids of the River Thames?
Upon arrival you’ll be kitted out with a wetsuit, buoyancy aid, helmet and boots before going through a safety assessment and some flat water exercises– you’ll learn the secrets of navigating the world class white water river course. Sessions start with an adventurous first run down the course, designed to get you used to the feel of the boat and working as a team. We progressively up the fear factor each time and by your final run you’ll be surfing, high siding, spinning and nose dunking with the very best!
Rafters must be at least 14 years of age and under 18 stone. Any rafters aged between 14 - 18 must have our Parental Consent Form signed by their legal parent/guardian before being able to raft on the river. Please arrive 30 minutes before your start time and allow three to four hours for the whole rafting experience. White water rafting is an extreme sport, while navigating the course you could well take a tumble into grade 4 rapids, so be prepared. Our bank safety team will be on hand to rescue you and safely help you out of the water before helping you back aboard your raft. Equipment is provided - just bring your swim suit and a towel.
During your rafting experience you will need to remove jewellery and any items of value. To avoid risk of loss or damage please leave valuables at home.
