No previous experience required, progressional trips available.

What we do best:

An ideal alternative to rafting, duckies or adventure kayaks are suited to lower water levels or for those of you looking for a more adrenaline fuelled trip.

Duckies are essentially two person raft-canoes, which are very manoeuvrable and as they are self-baling, won't sink! Trips are run on a wide choice of serene or adrenaline-pumping whitewater Scottish rivers.

Trips last for a half or full day depending on the river descended and distance travelled (where applicable). The rivers are suited to varying levels of experience although the winter months allow paddling of a higher grade and technicality.

Rivers popular with duckies include two different sections of the River Tay, the dam-released River Tummel, the Braan and the River Orchy.

Best River Days - Find the best whitewater that day. Come prepared to seek out the best rapids and most adrenalin pumping paddling. Available October-March.

River Tay - two sections of this river are paddled. Suited to all levels - a great introduction to whitewater.

River Braan - probably the most heart pounding 12 miles of whitewater in the UK.

River Tummel - a dam released river in one of Perthshire's most beautiful spots. The ultimate grade 4 two-tier drop waterfall awaits! (June - September at weekends only).
