At Lake District White Water Rafting we take Covid-19 extremely seriously.

To reduce the possibility of virus transmission, our team has implemented new procedures to ensure everyone’s safe wellbeing, and be compliant with the new guidelines. We want to keep you safe, whilst giving you the same exceptional rafting experiences as before.

We invite you to come in your ‘Social Bubble’. Just let us know how many of you want to come, and we will make it happen, safely. Just like rafting, Covid-19 requires teamwork where we all have a role:

Before the trip, please confirm that you are in a ‘Social Bubble’ and do not require physical distancing between yourselves

PLEASE Do not come if anyone in your group is showing signs of illness (coughing, fever, sore throat, difficulty breathing)

Upon arrival, each guest must sign a declaration of good health

Stick within your own bubble, and follow social distancing between other groups and our team members

Wash and sanitise your hands regularly, particularly before entering/ exiting the shuttle

Be ready to wear your face covering where social distancing cannot be fully observed

Be prepared that it may take a little longer to check you in, and hand out equipment, in order for us to follow new procedures

Be prepared that the showers may not be available during this time and toilets may be limited

We have implemented physical distancing between us and your ‘Bubble’. We will provide facemasks to use when distancing isn’t fully possible.

Please note that our groups may be smaller than usual to ensure we keep a safe distance between us. We can currently accommodate minimum 1 and maximum 5 people per raft.

We have amended our T&Cs to allow cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. If it is really late notice, we can reschedule you instead.

We only allow one ‘Social Bubble’ to check in at a time

We temperature check each client at check in

We perform daily health assessments and temperature checks of all of our employees

We provide extra Covid-19 training for each of our employees

We provide face masks to be worn on land and on the shuttle bus. Masks must not to be used on rafts, as we feel they will create a significant safety risk.

We disinfect the shuttle, rafts and paddles before each trip

We wash and disinfect our Wetsuits and Buoyancy Aids between uses

We have provided extra hand sanitiser stations

We place all equipment into rotation so there is maximum time between uses

On rafts, you are only with people from your Booking Group, and you will be distanced from the Raft Guide

We have reduced numbers to maintain physical distancing

Raft guides will maintain physical distance from guests, but in rescue situations, this may not be possible

After each trip, guests remove equipment and place it into a designated area for us to clean later
