When arriving on the day of your activity, all you need to bring with you is a towel, swimwear for under your wetsuit and shoes, which are going to get wet in the raft. Once you have arrived at our base we will look after the rest. All equipment is provided for the Classic and Looped trips including wetsuits, helmets and PFD’s. A helmet and PDF are provided for Tubing and Raft rentals.
For the Classic trip, once you have changed we will take a 10-minute shuttle up to the ‘get in’ point above  Lucan where we start our rafting adventure. 

We have complete on site changing facilities including hot showers.

Each raft is accompanied by one of our highly experienced guides. Your guide will be on board with you in the 7 person rafts. Our smaller 2 and 4 person rafts are accompanied by a guide in a kayak.

Your feet will definitely get wet. After that, the only reason you will get wet is if you choose to jump into the water or if there is mutiny on the ship.

We have 7 person rafts, 4 person rafts and two person rafts. If you choose to do tubing you will have your own individual tubes.
