Overview

Mobile ticket
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!

5.00Brilliant! It was full on, you get very wet but it's a total adrenaline rush. Instructor was great and really added to the experience. Plus all the organisation worked very slickly, booking in on arrival, getting kitted up, safety briefing plus the transport of the raft back to the top of the run. 100% recommended!
Totally recommend great fun

5.00I booked this experience for my husband's birthday, as a solo experience for him, when we got there, it looked so exciting that he talked me into joining him. The experience was exhilarating It was great fun. We didn't stop laughing even when getting absolutely soaked. The staff were really lovely and friendly and extremely accommodating. The attention to detail and safety was second to none. I felt safe and well informed as to exactly what was going to happen and all safety precautions. I would 100% recommend this white water rafting experience

5.00We went for the canyoning experience because the white water rafting was impossible due to the volume of water in the stream. I was a bit worried about injuring myself before we started but it was actually super-safe with great care taken by our guides Emily and Zak who made the whole experience great fun.
