Adverse Conditions & Safety
River Levels & Weather:
If the river is too high to make a safe trip we will adapt the session or change to an alternative session / location. We can still do the session in the rain.
Option 1 (Rapids): If there is not enough water, the tubing session is the best alternative. Or we can use the rafts on a deeper section of the river.
Option 2 (Gorge): Nearly always works apart from in high winds.
Swim ability:
None required, as you will float in all the equipment. Please advise us if you are a non swimmer or nervous in the water so we can best cater for you during the session. There are sections where you can be 10 meters from the nearest bit of land but it is always safest to get back on the raft if you fall in.
1. The Basics
We start on safe water to learn control and steering commands before hitting the river.
2. The Action
Launched straight into the action! Heading down Henllan Falls and navigating the rapids.
3. Smiles All Round
The team works together to conquer the drops. A physical but rewarding experience.
