There is no fixed way to build a good raft; the key ingredients are to make the knots as tight as possible and the whole thing stable in the water. We provide some ideas of rafts and will assist you with knot tying, but we won’t build it for you! Once your raft(s) are built and checked, and you have all the safety gear on, we launch and if there are more than 1 raft we will have a race to a buoy. Whoever gets there first pulls it out of the water and underneath, in a waterproof container, will be a delicious prize! The runners up usually respond to this with a volley of water, boarding the other raft and general chaos results. If you stay dry on a rafting session it is nothing short of a miracle – so expect to get wet. Minimum age 9.
Thanks for a brilliant day, we’ll be back!”
