Could not do more for us... - As a small special school from Dudley we could not be happier with the service which was provided. The instructors were brilliant in meeting the needs of our pupils, and the activity is obviously incredible.

281st Bham Explorer group - This was organised for our scout Explorer group and leaders. Having done this before we did the full trip incorporating the serpents tail. Always so much fun but tiring for the younger members. Instructors were brilliant and plenty of laughs were had by all 😀

Fantastic fun - Fantastic few hours, amazing staff from the on-site cafe to the rafting instructors. Everyone’s safety was number one, very clear instructions of what to do if something were to happen, put us at ease. So much fun was had and such a good laugh, great value for money. Will definitely recommend this to anyone.

Great fun! - We all had a great time, was really good fun. One nervous person in the group and the instructor Ali made sure they were looked after throughout so put them at ease, making it a really enjoyable experience for all. Really fun activity, would reccomend.

A excellent day out - An absolutely fantastic day out with friends. Went for a friend’s birthday for a day out with the lads. Friendly instructors that made the day thoroughly enjoyable even with the changeable weather conditions. All gear was provided including wetsuits, waterproof socks and gloves to make you as warm as you could expect for an activity in the open water in October. An absolutely excellent day out and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the company or the activity to anyone

Fun but chilly - River Bugs is a interesting way to go white water rafting, as instead of being in a big raft with several others, you are instead going head down the rapids, on your own, on a glorified float. Its fun, its exciting, our guide was great. But maybe consider doing it in the summer, rather than October as the River Dee is a cold beastie at that time of year. Definitely recommend giving it a go though.
