Customer Reviews for the White Water Rafting Session for Two - Northants
We bought the white water rafting experience for my daughters 40th birthday and it was the best laugh we had had in ages. On arrival they had their team talk along with a two young lads whod be also in the raft who looked down their noses at a 40 year old mother, a large man and a dizzy blonde 15 year old. BUT once on the rapids, guess who were the first to fall in Yep the two young lads It was a wonderful day out for all of us.
