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!
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
Highly recommended! The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Louise and Keith truly stood out, showing great flexibility when we arrived with an extra person and clearly tailoring the session to suit everyone's age, ability, and interests. The rafting itself was a blast – a blend of exhilarating weirs, opportunities for swimming and games, and calmer stretches to soak in the beautiful scenery. We even spotted herons, swans, kingfishers, and surprisingly, turtles and dogs in the river! The site and equipment were top-notch and well-maintained. The sauna, plunge pool, and pizza were the perfect end to a fantastic day.
