White Water Rafting

White water rafting is the perfect gift idea for thrill seeking adrenalin junkies. A stomach-churning ride down white water rapids in a six to eight person, inflatable raft. You will be part of an eight man team and after a full briefing will be loaded into your raft and introduced to your chosen river.

Experience the outstanding beauty of our natural river courses which include some calm areas as well as some very exciting rapids to get your teeth into! Alternatively go for a man-made course where rapids have a controlled water flow making them the most dependable white water in the country, any time of year.

A Whitewater rafting session is an ideal opportunity for families and friends to get together and participate in a real adventure sport. Come and enjoy the thrills of our fabulous water rapids. You may book individually and join a group of up to 8 people, with an experienced guide to train and supervise your adventure.

All of our gift experiences are presented in an attractive red case with "Congratulations - you are the lucky recipient of a Well Wicked experience day" written on the front. You will also get a DVD featuring many of our experiences. Experience vouchers can be personalised if required.
