When you arrive, you will normally be asked to sign an indemnity form which will also require parental/guardian signature for under 18’s. As part of a small group you will be given an initial group briefing, and then issued with the necessary safety equipment and buoyancy aid. Instruction in the raft, including paddling technique and commands. Then a run down the rapids.
