What Can I Expect

A private white water rafting session for six of you in the Peak District! This voucher is for six people to raft together from Matlock along some of Derbyshire’s most scenic parts of the Derwent river.

Joining you all in your raft will be a fully qualified instructor. As you can imagine, all the instructors are very passionate about river guiding and they know this whole Peak District area really well, so you’ll be taken to the best spots in the area.

Indeed this rafting company has been operating on the varied waters around Matlock since 2012 and the location has proved to be a big hit, providing the right mix of sightseeing and whirling rapids to keep everyone happy (and afloat!).

The rafts used by this centre in the Peak District are sturdy enough to withstand big flowing white water. Each one of you will be kitted out in all the safety gear, including the wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet, not forgetting that essential accessory - the paddle.

After a safety briefing where the route and rafting techniques will be explained to you, it's time for your team to clamber into the raft and set off from the bank to head down the river to tackle the white waters (don't worry, it's not too scary!).

These white water rafting trips cover around 4.5 miles of the River Derwent in the heart of the Peak District, between bustling Matlock and historic Cromford.

And don't forget, the price you pay for this white water rafting in the Peak District voucher is for the whole raft. So get a group of friends, family or work colleagues together and head down the Derwent for some watery fun and games in your own private raft.
