  • Great introduction to rafting for kids and beginners
  • Fully coached and supervised by trained instructors
  • A fantastic family bonding experience
  • 2 hour sessions with plenty of splashy fun

  • Fast flowing water and exciting rapids
  • Great for groups, couples, or solo adventurers
  • No prior experience needed, just bring your courage!
