Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The raft building was brilliant for our students. Our students struggle with their behaviour and display this through being anxious or scared.
Kyle the instructor was fantastic and spoke to the students brilliantly. He made them feel safe and encouraged them to be involved in any way possible.

Because of Kyle, all of our students put on all the kit, got involved and loved their raft building day.

Thank you Tees Barrage and Kyle.

FANTASTIC kayaking experience for 8 boys aged 10/11 - thank you to Kyle! Kyle greeted us enthusiastically upon arrival for a kayaking party and took charge of the boys. Kyle was excellent at explaining to the boys how to wear and use the equipment, and he ensured they all had a great fun and safe kayaking experience at Tees Barrage. Thank you, Kyle!

Booked our 15 & 11 year old kids on a 2 hour beginner Kayaking session, they loved it. Booked online and completed the online medical forms, they were met by their instructor, Callum. They were given a helmet and life jacket and a quick safety talk before going onto the water to practice skills before heading up river for skills and games. Callum was a great instructor and they had a fantastic time. They want to try the paddle boarding next time.

Terrible today charged full price and conveyor not working although not advertised as not working and they new it was before putting course on.
Charged full price
Flow poor to start and appeared screws were generating power ?
Course a mess sharp brambles at edges which could damage dry tops
Safety low priority here,stone walkways not jet washed slip risk, debris left on conveyor trip hazard.
It needs someone to take ownership of the course and maintain it every day.
Sorry to moan, but come on tees active and british waterways get your act together.

We went on a low flow night and the flow went from non existing for the first hour building gradually to full normal flow by the end, which was too much for beginners. They would have struggled with the conditions. They did put extra time on but people had to be away. They have to do better down at the barage, it’s a shame because there were plenty of people down there.

We went as a group of 5 & we all had the best time. Our instructor Jake was amazing, the white water rafting itself was awesome, really good fun but Jake out our minds at ease & had us laughing from start to finish. Would recommend for anyone to go. Would absolutely go back again.

Fantastic day out with my wife and our 2 teenagers (16 & 18) Great instruction from the guys and plenty of thrills and spills. Yes you will get wet. Yes you will fall in. Not for the fainthearted or anyone scared of water. 2 hours of white water rafting. We all had a great time and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to do something a little out of the ordinary. (Wet suits, life jackets and helmets were all supplied)

Took the kids for a two hour stand up paddle board lesson yesterday and both them and us as spectators had a fantastic time .
The instructor was great, with just the right mixture of fun and professionalism to hold together enthusiastic learners who regularly fall in 😀.
The changing rooms are closed at the moment because of COVID-19 , so make sure you bring big towels to protect your modesty and park in the corner of one of the car parks, because that’s where you’ll be getting changed.
Remember to complete your on line assessment before attending to make it easier to get started.

If you are looking for something new for the kids to try out , you can’t go wrong with this great value for money experience . Thanks again to the team . Highly recommend.

It was our first time white water rafting at the Tees Barrage today and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Tom and Jake our guides were very professional and made you feel at ease on the water. Good banter too!! Will definitely do it again.

Great leaders for both rafts - we got to go down both the long and short courses several times. We were a group of 4 and had 2 others join us to fill the raft - all were made to feel very much at ease and to work together as one team. Fantastic experience down the rapids! Don't expect clear/clean water! It's from the barrage / river. There are showers (cold!) for afterwards. No food available so bring some with you as you will be hungry afterwards...
