Water Explorer in Guildford

Pack your sense of adventure and get ready to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature on a memorable River Wey in rafted canoes!
What are rafted canoes?
We join a pair of canoes parallel with a spar across the centre making a catamaran style boat. They are pretty much impossible to capsize, very stable to control, great for young children.
