White Water Rafting in Scotland
White Water Active now offers four very individual rafting trips in Scotland. To book ring us on 01978 860763 from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm 7 days a week.
River Orchy
Whole day - Rafting Trips run October to March Only £80.00 p.p.
Situated in the heart of the Grampians mountains, in Argyle, tucked
away from the hustle and bustle of city life, lies Glen Orchy. This is
a tranquil little glen, dotted with a couple of farms surrounded by
steep, rugged mountains. It contains a dark secret, for here lays the
river Orchy. In the summer it is a gentle trickle, but add typical
Scottish weather from September onwards and the trickle grows into a
raging torrent!
This is white water rafting at it's best! A 'full-on' alpine style
river that has no respect for anyone daring to travel along it's
twisting path. We have pioneered regular descents, both in high water
and normal flows, down what is regarded along with the Dee in
Llangollen, as one of the U K's best rafting river. If you are looking
for the a challenging, exciting and pure adrenaline buzzing whitewater
then this is for you!
Run as a day trip we cover ten miles of this river, running through
nine major grade 3 or higher rapids (usually higher!). Anyone wishing
to raft this river must be able to move at fairly short notice to take
advantage of the best possible conditions. This is not a river for the
faint of heart, raft if you dare!!
(This trip is recommended for individuals and groups who have rafted
before or are watersports and adventure enthusiasts. Please check
suitability with our office before booking this trip!)
River Tay Aberfeldy to Grandtully
Half day - Rafting Trips run all year round £50.00 p.p.
This half day trip is about six miles in distance, and starts from the
old market town of Aberfeldy. Here the river winds lazily along the Tay
valley, through rolling hills and stunning scenery. This is an area
with a diverse wildlife, which is best seen from the river.
The paddle crew has ample opportunity to practice their newly learnt
rafting skills before the river drops away and creates challenging
rapids that flow down to Grandtully.
Rapids such as 'Zoom Flume' and 'The Washing Machine' keep people on
their toes! Grandtully rapid is where the trip ends. This is the
longest rapid on the river and provides one or two surprises for the
unwary rafter.
River Tay Stanley to Thistlebrig
Half day - Rafting Trips run April & May Only £50.00 p.p.
This half day trip is about four miles in distance, and is equally good
in low water levels as it is when the river is running high. Exciting
rapids make this trip an ideal introduction to the sport of whitewater
rafting.
Stanley is just north of the city of Perth, 'The Fair City'. The short
journey time from Edinburgh or Glasgow makes this the perfect
experience for the day-tripper.
The river is lined with trees and dotted with sandy beaches, and
usually the water here is warmer than it is upstream. Rapids like 'The
Weir' and 'Hell Hole Corner' make your trip a memorable one.
River Tummel Half Day
Half day - Rafting Trips run every Saturday & Sunday - June, July, August & September £55 p.p.
Situated just north of Pitlochry, the River Tummel is like no other in Scotland. The experience will get you working together to help the guide take the raft from the beautiful deep pools, down through technical rapids such as 'Zig-Zag' and 'Sharks Tooth'. The main part of the trip is grade 2-3 preparing you for the 'piece de la resistance', a two tier, 18 foot drop (grade 4) into the mystical Loch Faskally where we float away from the falls towards home reflecting upon it's power and beauty.
