If you’re an adrenaline junkie you will love our white water tubing. In the UK’s first purpose-built white water course, Northampton Active in Northampton is the place to give this sport a go. You will have a wild ride down the 300m long course in an inflatable tube. You will join a group of up to 8 people but don't worry, you will still have plenty of runs in your 1.5 hour time slot. The experienced instructors will keep you safe and teach you everything you will need to know to glide down the course with ease. Whether you’re a strong swimmer or not, you can still ride the rapids. Once you’ve got out of the cold water, you can jump straight into the hot showers on site and also grab something from their café before you head home.
