This is the ideal introduction to the world of bugging and white water adventure. While no previous experience is needed, participants must be strong swimmers, able to swim 25 metres, and extremely water confident. 

In this thrilling adventure, participants will lie on their front or back in a specially designed river bug, using webbed water gloves to steer through the rapids, surf waves, and spin through the River Dee's thrilling twists and turns. The real fun begins as you jump or flip off the river’s natural features, all while balancing and navigating your way through the water.

This  2 ½ hour session is a perfect mix of excitement and challenge, offering the ultimate way to explore the natural whitewater. Whether it’s jumping, spinning, or simply riding the waves, it’s an unforgettable way to experience the power of the river and the beauty of the Welsh countryside. 

Available from 1st April to 31st October, this adventure is suitable for groups, making it an ideal gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or just a fun day out with friends or family. This is a shared experience, so you’ll be joined by fellow adventurers ready to tackle the rapids alongside you.
