Raft Building

A Watertight Way to Have Fun

Come and Experience Raft Building

This is the perfect activity for all ages and abilities. Raft building is one of those popular and often talked about activities that’s not only great fun and a fantastic way to learn new skills, but also a brilliant way to promote teamwork and team bonding. As a result, raft building is just as popular for corporate away days and work trips as it is for hen and stag parties.

The challenge with raft building is really simple.  Our instructors will provide you and your team with enough barrels, logs and ropes to build a raft. Correction – they’ll provide you with *just* enough of those things, so you’ll need to plan carefully and work creatively. Once you’ve discussed and perhaps even agreed about your plan of action, the clock will then start, and you’ll have to race to build your raft. Once completed, you’ll then be expected to board your newly built raft and make your way from one side of our lake to the other.  The fastest team to cross the lake and navigate around the buoys wins.

We will provide all the necessary raft building equipment and safety kit for you and your team to take part and enjoy your day. All of our sessions are delivered by fully trained instructors who know a thing or two about raft building, team building and water safety, so from start to a hopefully dry finish, you’re in good hands.

If you don’t want to take our word for it, then sail on over to check out our reviews on Trip Advisor to see why our raft building experience is consistently rated 5 star.

An ideal activity for; Groups of friends, Families, Stag/Hens and Corporate team builds.

Birthday treat - axe throwing and quad bikes Both instructors - Phil for the axes, and Jaro for the quads - were friendly and made the sessions interesting and enjoyable. Jaro was especially patient with a nervous quad rider

Brilliant Fun This was so much fun. We did the more technical course on the larger bikes, splashing thought puddles, bouncing over tree roots and mud. Rich was a brilliant instructor, made the whole experience relaxed and fun. Always great when you do something like this and feel like you’ve had amazing value for money.

An amazing experience I was a little worried that I wouldn't enjoy it but I could not have been more wrong. The quad biking was sooo much fun made even better by Rich who made the experience relaxed and entertaining. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone
