Can less active family members still join the rafting activity at River Valley?


In River Valley

Yes. River Valley can run the trip as a gentler float using oared rafts, which is particularly suitable for older or less active guests. Tell us when booking if anyone in your group would prefer this option so the rafting setup can be arranged in advance.
