White Water Rafting In Scotland

February 8th, 2012 by Highland Activities

White Water Rafting In Scotland

We now have dates for dam release on the River Garry for 2012, call us on 08450 945513!

Scotland is a fantastic place to enjoy white water rafting due to the natural landscape and also because we get a lot of rain!

Scotland’s rivers can be world class given the correct conditions and water levels but this is not always the case due to the geography of our landscape and hieght of our mountains. Unlike the Alpine regions or North America & the Himalaya Scotland does not have glacier fed streams that keep our rivers full during the spring and summer months and we are very dependent on the correct amount of rainfall or releases from dams to enable white water rafting in Scotland to be a  great guarenteed experience.

Guaranteed Water Spring & Summer 2012! 

Highland Activities have access to a fantastic strectch of white water that is guaranteed due to dam releases once or twice every week on the River Garry.

White water rafting on the River Garry offers guaranteed fun and exitement of grade 3 & 4 white water. Our white water rafting trips are suitable for families, youth groups, schools & of course they are very popular with stag weekends and hen weekends . 

The River Garry is very accessable from Inverness, Fort William, Glasgow & Edinburgh and can be combined with other activities fora great day out.

Stag and Hen Season!

February 6th, 2012 by Highland Activities

So with wedding season fast approaching it is time to get those all important stag and hen parties booked up. If you are reading this you are more than likely the chief bridesmaid or best man who has been put in charge of the difficult task that is organising your best friends last weekend of freedom before they tie the knot. First things first… get a list of all the people your friend wants at their stag/hen weekend and get in touch with everyone on the list and see who is up for what and try and find something that is going to suit everyone! We now have 5 locations across the Highlands and offer a wide selection of land and water activates so are sure to have something that will please everyone! If the group seems to be pretty energetic and up for trying anything then we would suggest trying White Water Rafting, Canyoning, Paintballing or Quad Biking! On the other hand if everyone is looking for a chilled out weekend with a bit of fun then we would suggest trying your hand at some Target Sports (Archery, Clays or Tomahawks), Scenic Rafting Safari, 4×4 Scenic Safari or Canoeing/Kayaking on the Loch.

Now the hard part…. You know where you want to stay and what you want to do but you now have to pin everyone down to a date! Get a couple of dates sorted that suit the Bride/Groom and their closest friends and family!

If you need any help finding accommodation, places to eat, transport or other things to do while you are in the Highlands then feel free to get in touch at any point!

 

Good Luck!
