National White Water Centre

The National White Water Centre has been hosting hen and stag dos for a really long time, so we know how to give you a super fun time while you're with us! Below are our top reasons you should book your special trip with us (but there are many more, obviously)...

1. White water rafting is the best!

Not only is white water rafting immense fun, there are other hidden benefits which make it a great activity for your pre-wedding trip:

Rafting is a great ice breaker!

There's no better way to get to know your new family members than to wetsuit up and go white water rafting together!
