Fantastic minibus (and river) experience. - Most important things first; the minibus that took us to the activity start was absolutely immaculate. Whoever cleaned that vehicle obviously has a lot of pride in their work. Fantastic!! This is a must try experience (not the minibus) as this is, I believe, one of only 2 places that do it in the country. Our guide for the day, the fun, knowledgeable and cool, Aaron, was just a brilliant host. He made sure that we were safe but having fun at all times, encouraged us to enjoy the river and, because there were only 2 of us on this experience, took us further upstream so that we could have more time to enjoy everything. He even spotted an otter playing in the shallows at one point! Overall, everything was so well organised, great fun and a fantastic afternoon. Thanks, Aaron and particularly, the guy who cleaned the minibus!

Exciting & energetic - Enjoyable experience going down rapids on 1 person inflatable as part of a group (whom I did not know beforehand). Well supervised & well led. You need to be able to cope with an energetic experience - and be comfortable in the water.

Great experience - My family undertook this activity as part of a wider holiday. One child became sick just before it started and was well looked after by the company. My wife and other teenager undertook the activity and loved it! They felt safe but exhilarated by the experience. The guide Jamie was fab!
