White Water Rafting in Northants

This white water rafting centre boasts the UK's first pumped artificial whitewater course on the River Nene in Northamptonshire. Three enormous pumps control the discharge of water down the 300m whitewater course. This means that if you're a beginner, you can learn the basics of white water rafting in fairly placid conditions and then increase the difficulty as your skill and experience improve. IntotheBlue has a range of white water rafting experiences to suit all levels of ability.

Your two hour session will include a comprehensive safety and rafting technique briefing, a short session on flat water allowing you to practice paddling and manoeuvring your six seater raft, before you set off to complete 5/6 thrilling circuits of the 300m course.

Wetsuits, windproof jackets, floatation aids and safety helmets are provided so all you need to bring is a swim costume and sense of adventure. Fully trained and experienced guides will ensure you receive the necessary instruction to maximise your enjoyment of the day - you are guaranteed to have fun, get wet and be exhausted!

This white water rafting activity is just one from our huge selection of experience days available with an IntotheBlue experience voucher!

Two hour experience includes full safety briefing, flat water practice session and approximately 5/6 runs of the course.  All safety equipment is provided.  There will be a maximum of six people plus one guide in a raft with a maximum total group size of 24.
