The Experience
Take to the rapids in one of our 8-man rafts, and following instruction from one of our expert guides, it's straight into the adrenaline action of your first wet and wild run down our man made course. White Water Rafting is a real adventure, and our course runs at grade 2/3 on a scale of 1 to 6. With a total length of 500m, the water runs straight from the river Trent and benefits from being one of the largest water volume courses in the UK with an average of 20 cubic meters per second of water flowing through the course.
