River bugging swaps the big team raft for a small inflatable bug that you sit in solo, feet first, steering with webbed gloves on your hands and fins on your feet. It is a far more personal way to take on white water, low to the surface and entirely in your own hands, which makes even modest rapids feel lively.

You need to be a confident swimmer and up for getting thoroughly wet, but no bugging experience is required. Guides brief you, lead the descent and pick rivers to match the group, building you up as your confidence grows.

The operators on adventuro run river bugging sessions with the bug, wetsuit and safety gear provided. It is white water at its most hands-on, and grin-inducingly good fun.
