Age & health

  • No experience needed: many of our guests raft for the first time, with an experienced guide on every raft.
  • Share the age and weight of everyone in your group when you book: some activities have age, weight or health requirements, and we'll tell you what suits each person.
  • Tell us before you book about any heart or blood-pressure condition, back or neck problem, recent injury or surgery, or pregnancy.

Best time to visit

  • Rafting runs 7 am–5 pm, September to June.
