Cuisine On A White Water Rafting Trip?

Some Pre - Dinner Canapes in Morocco

Eating a wonderful meal in the outdoors is a must. Forget beans on toast and “spam” your river guides transform into wonderful chefs preparing cuisine we have been told “restaurants would be proud of”.

As any past guests of Water By Nature will attest to, from sundowners of Canapes, prawn cocktail or wine and cheese and an ice cold beer, to our very own “cake guru” Steve Hammond’s dutch oven cakes, you should not plan on losing any weight on your holiday! Given the range of food on offer in many of our destinations such as Morocco, Nepal and the Zambezi, many meals the guides prepare are from scratch. On a  recent trip to Morocco, the guests were blown away by riverside pizzas and chips, made with their own choice of toppings. Breakfasts are no exception. Fresh fruit each morning, cereal and those wanting a cooked breakfast, French Toast, bacon and eggs or perhaps Eggs Benedict will satisfy your taste buds. Lunches include fresh salads, cold meats and fruit.

Given the nature of a river trip and taking gear rafts with you, there is no need to scrimp on comfort and the same applies to the food. Send us your suggestions or any meals you’d like to see included in a trip.

Why We Created Our New Amalfi Coast & Capri Sailing Adventure


At Water By Nature, we don’t create trips sitting behind a desk.

Our newest adventure, the Amalfi Coast & Capri Sailing Vacation, is a perfect example. Recently Holly and I spent time exploring this spectacular […]

A Life Spent Outside and Why It Still Matters


Recently, I was featured in the Sunday Times, reflecting on a life that, in many ways, has been spent outside rather than in. It felt slightly surreal reading it back. Not because it wasn’t accurate, but because it made me stop and think about just how much of my life has been shaped by rivers, […]
