Why River Rafting in the Peak District is Unmissable:

Stunning Scenery: Glide past the verdant rolling hills and marvel at the majestic views of the Derbyshire Peak District. The River Derwent, winding through 66 miles, offers an unmatched scenic backdrop that perfectly complements the adrenaline-packed adventure.

Tailored for Group Fun: This isn’t just another activity; it’s an experience. Perfect for stag, hen, and diverse group gatherings, our 8-seater rafts promise belly laughs, teamwork, and an opportunity to make lasting memories.

The Two-Part Derwent Adventure:

The Upper Section: Embark from Matlock into the serene waters. This calm stretch is your playground to bond, practice team manoeuvres, and enjoy Derbyshire’s beauty. Feel free to dive in for a refreshing swim or playfully toss your mates in for a shared chuckle on a hot day.

The Lower Section: Your skills will be put to the test as you navigate the Derwent rapids. Tackle challenges like the Town Falls and Flip Bridge. If your group seeks an even bigger thrill, we can elevate the experience, but be warned: your raft might take a thrilling flip!

A New Perspective of Matlock: Beyond the adventure, there’s beauty. Paddle through the Wind Tunnel, lift your gaze, and witness the rock climbers scaling the renowned High Tor Cliff. It’s Matlock as you’ve never seen before.
