Raft Building

Raft building is an exciting, team-building activity that is perfect for groups.

We have raft building kits with large plastic barrels, spars, and plenty of rope. Rafts can be built from a whole host of materials, so long as they naturally float.

This provides a great team challenge with groups either working to the clock or with a structured session. Our professional instructors can demonstrate different knots and lashings to help you hold the raft together.

Then comes the fun, and usually wet bit, the maiden voyage! Teams often race their raft around an obstacle or along a simple course which is all part of achieving the task. Don’t worry, we have plenty of long john wetsuits and waterproofs for this watersports activity.

Highly recommend Canoe Trail whether you’re looking to improve your paddling or just a fun family day out on one of the river trails.

Just returned from a week in Scotland with Canoe Trail. It was one of the best organised trips I have done. The team were awesome, great instruction with loads of patience for those new to paddling.
