Is it dangerous?
Safety is always taken into consideration with us. Expert and qualified guides will provide clear instructions before and during activities. Safety equipment (life jackets, helmets, etc.) will always be provided before departure. Short courses are also held (briefings of 15 minutes) during which useful notions and instructions are given, also for security purposes.
Are these activities suitable for children?
Of course! Rafting is an activity suitable for children too(4 years onwards). Everyone can go rafting in the Thames, even the little ones: obviously, the sections are not as troubled as those for adults. Having said that, the descent remains a very unique and safe experience.
What if it rains?

However, remember that suitable clothing will be provided to you!
