“We signed up to do White water tubing which was advertised as one of the more extreme trips and not for the faint hearted. We didn't find it particularly extreme, however it was still really enjoyable and we ended up having such a laugh with the group. The instructor Jack was lovely; he explained clearly what to do on each rapid and was really supportive towards those that were a little less confident.”
