It has been called the most fun you can have with an inflatable but that maybe underestimates the thrill that nature will give the whole family on this unpredictable and wild ride over a natural river.
What’s involved
- See amazing gorges, rockpools and waterfalls
- Experience up to GRADE 3 RAPIDS!
- A great way to observe wildlife
- Safety skills taught by river guides
Friendships are soon struck up as team work is the order of the day to guide the raft along the bumps and glides along the rivers natural course, through waterfalls, rock pools and wild and wet rapids. This is NOT a float trip on the River Spey, it’s the real deal.
Trips run every morning from 10:00 to 13:00. Please note the cost is per person.
