The Ultimate Session is unique in the UK, offering continuous world-class rapids, with almost no flat water between! A dam release guarantees the quality and constancy of rapids. (Other UK rivers cannot promise this due to unpredictable British weather!)
Your adventure will start and end at our riverside centre with thick 4-season wetsuits and full safety equipment allocation. After a quick instructional session, we will bus you to the head of the river where a massive 9 cumecs of pure mountain water begins it's cascade through ancient woodland.
This is the country's best whitewater rafting, staffed by guides with international experience. Over 3 descents you will play, freestyle and surf down fast, clean whitewater, each run increasing in excitement and challenge.
A spectacular choice for a rainy day activity, the weather cannot soak you more than we will! On a hot day, nothing feels fresher than punching through rapid after rapid.
This is a truly wild day out!

Rafting was great but some issues

4.00So mixed bag, the actual white water rafting was excellent, really enjoyed it personally and though for the cost it was good value, thought the guide was great, however, issues that have made this a 4 star review are (note I'd like to have gone 3.5 but that wasn't an option):- 1. Communicate better the actual details of the expereince (i.e. you'll be doing 3 runs down the river, you'll need to lug the dingy onto the trailer and then from the trailer to the water after each run, its quite heavy). I'm sure somewhere it tells you this but it wasn't obvious and most folk can't be bothered reading the detail and would miss this stuff. 2. Wet suits and shoe's - They will be cold and wet, not the nicest thing to put on and quite tricky to get on for those who arn't used to putting them on (most of our group put them on inside out..!) 3. Changing rooms - Were pretty grim and lacked facilities (i.e. any form of dryers) 4. Food and drink - Quite expensive and not great quality
You’ll get wet but you’ll love it

5.00First time white water rafting and had an amazing time which was down to being with my best friends but also Morgan who was our instructor. She was fantastic, we were so lucky to have her. If you go, I would ask for her as her enthusiasm is second to none. Thank you Morgan for all of us.
The best experience!

5.00I had an amazing experience whitewater rafting. It was my first time, and I was quite nervous before we started. However, our guide was fantastic and made us feel safe and confident throughout the whole adventure. Thanks to their guidance, we all did really well! My friends and I enjoyed every moment of the experience. It was so much fun, and we absolutely loved the photos—they are wonderful memories of an unforgettable day. Thank you so much to your amazing team for making our first rafting experience so enjoyable. I will definitely recommend your company to my friends and family. I hope to come back and do it again next time!
