About the experience
Product ID: 12979
Grab a group of friends and go White Water Rafting down the River Derwent in the Peak District. Paddle around 4.5 miles along the river from Darley Dale down to Matlock Bath. Your wild ride down the river will be led by a BCU or IRF qualified raft guide. The rafting will last around 1 hour and 20 minutes, which will be spent paddling and hanging on so you don't fall out, and if you have time you can take in the beautiful English countryside and quaint villages that sit along the river banks. Your raft can hold 6-8 people depending on the time of year, so it's a perfect activity to have a laugh with some friends or bond with some colleagues. All the kit is provided so all you need to bring is some swimwear, a change of clothes and bags of enthusiasm.

We took 10 young people diagnosed with ADHD for white water rafting along the River Derwent. Excellent service from start to finish and extremely enjoyable. Highly recommended.

This was a 60th birthday present for myself and my twin sister. We had a fabulous time. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Colin our captain was attentive, experienced and fun. Through sponsorship we used the opportunity to raise more than 800 for charity. Altogether an amazing adventure we would recommend to anyone.

Great fun. Well organised trip, with skilled and knowledgeable guide. River was very calm so was more of a river trip than white water but that suited our friends.

Although the river was quite low so the ride was quite sedate, we spent a lovely afternoon paddling down this pretty stretch of river. There were lots of birds swooping around plus a large kingfisher which followed us for part of the trip. Ben our instructor was very helpful and knowledgeable but we did pass on his offer of a swim in the river as there were only 2 of us and we are both retired

Great day out, well worth the money. Instructor was spot on and we dropped on a nice day. It was only about 45 degrees Celsius but wasnt a problem with the wet suit on so I would recommend this at any time of the year, dont let the cold put you off. Even went in for a swim at on point.
