- All rafters must have a reasonable level of fitness. Unfortunately,
we are unable to take those who are pregnant or those with certain medical
conditions. If you have any questions regarding this, please get in contact.
- You will be asked to sign a risk disclosure on check-in, a copy can be
found here.
- All participants should be aware they are rafting a real river with real
risk. We are seasoned professionals and will do our utmost to ensure you have
the time of your life. But it is common for rafts to flip and on very odd
occasions for people to sustain an injury which is primarily from people
hitting each other with paddles or not tucking their chins on the waterfall
when instructed by the guides.
All in all, we raft tens of thousands of people per year and strive to be the
highlight of your holiday which we have done for hundreds of thousands of
people.
Lock it in!

a level of risk but we will do everything we can to minimise this.
