White Water Rafting
We offer rafting on a variety of rivers throughout Scotland – from scenic, introductory rafting trips to exhilarating, technical white water adventures. We have trips suitable for families or those who simply want to sample a fun, introduction to river rafting, but also provide more challenging descents for those with a real sense of adventure!
Rivers
The River Tay
Aberfeldy, Perthshire
Perfect for Beginners
Stretching through beautiful Perthshire, the Tay is Scotland’s longest river, at 120 miles, and the UK’s largest river by volume of discharge. These facts go some way to explaining its importance for rafting – reliable water levels throughout the year.
The most rafted section is from Aberfeldy to Grandtully. This is an easy, scenic 6-mile trip but includes some sections of Grade 2 rapids, plus the final descent of the Grandtully rapids (Grade 3), the national site for white-water Slalom competitions.
This makes a great introduction to river rafting and is generally suitable for all.
The River Tummel
Pitlochry, Perthshire
Perfect for a Challenge
The River Tummel is located near Pitlochry, Perthshire. This dam-controlled river offers guaranteed releases ensuring an exciting, technical white water rafting experience – consistent Grade 3 culminating in a Grade 4 double-drop waterfall at ‘Linn of Tummel’.
As rafting is limited only to release dates from the dam, we are able to offer this trip on weekends only, from June to September (inclusive).
The River Findhorn
