- We raft on natural rivers – every trip can be different. We are reliant on water levels. In periods of prolonged dry weather, then sometimes a trip can be gentler. If we have a prolonged wet spell, the rapids can be bigger. We continue to raft in most weather conditions, whether there’s rain, sun or snow. We raft in low and high water. Where water/ weather/ river conditions are not suitable or safe at our usual locations we will check other locations within a 1 hour travel time radius, therefore please allow a 1 hour travel extra travel time in your planning. We will update you the day before your trip if there is any change to the location. Whist it is a rarity, it is also possible than event would have to be postponed if no local river is safe or usable for rafting. Please make sure that we have all ways to contact you in the event of river changes the day before your trip.
