Customer Reviews
We had an absolutely fantastic team experience with Rafting.ie! The team was incredibly friendly and accommodating. They were so kind as to stay open later for us so we could make it in time after work. The rafting was so much fun, and we were even able to use the sauna for free afterward. We all had a blast, and it was the perfect team-building activity. 5 out of 5 stars—thanks for everything!
The activity itself was really fun. It was a good amount of time, the guides were great and they broke the trip up with swimming and places to jump in. The scenery was amazing. The water was a little shallow when we went so all of the canoe rafts kept getting stuck on rocks in the rapids parts. We were also forgotten at our pick up point and after calling we had to wait 40 minutes for a replacement driver to collect us. They were very apologetic and rectified the situation as best they could but it wasn’t ideal.
Had an amazing rafting experience yesterday. I went there with my colleagues as part of a team bonding (building) exercise and I can say we all had a great time. We had Carl as an amazing driver, he kept us laughing and entertained. He told us fun facts about historical buildings and bridges that we passed along the way. We sang, laughed and made jokes as we paddled along the Liffey. The drops and the random swims along the way were amazing. 10/10 experience and would definitely recommend. I'll come back with More photos
