White-water rafting at the Olympic course

Fancy tackling the same rapids as Olympic champions? The Lee Valley White Water Centre at Waltham Cross was built for the London 2012 canoe slalom, and today anyone can have a go.

Choose your thrill

• White-water rafting on the Olympic course, with expert guides
• Kayaking, canoeing and hydrospeeding for the brave
• Paddleboarding and an inflatable obstacle course on the lake for gentler fun

Rafting has minimum ages and you need to be a confident swimmer. Book ahead, bring a change of clothes and a sense of humour: you will get wet.

Check prices, ages and session times with the centre before you book.
