Well organised and made the best of the river even though water was low in some places. We had a full two hours of fun. Lovely bar for a drink at the end. It always seems a bit expensive when you book. But when we finished we all agreed it was great value.

We booked rafting for the six of us. Due to low water this year the company explained we’d be in two person kayak/rafts. The instructor was excellent and we had a great time on the river. Nice to have a drink in the riverside bar afterwards to swop stories.
