White Water Rafting In Scotland

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.

Last River Garry Trip Of 2011

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

White Water rafting In Scotland Near Fort William

Last Thursday we ran our last white water rafting trip on the River Garry for 2011 as the scheduled water releases have now finished for this year. We had some great fun and 2 great trips with some fantastic custmers that had been with us throughout the week during the half term break for an activity holiday. Earlier in the week we also went out canyoning and were relieved when the cold snap broke and delivered us some milder weather and the river gods shone upon us and it also stopped raining enabling us to run the trip for 17 adventure lovers!

White water rafting trips on the River Garry will commence again at the end of March 2012 when the water releases will start giving us some early season action. Until then we will be runing white water rafting on other rainfed rivers subject to good levels and rainfall.

Our new website also has white water rafting gift vouchers for sale in our online shop as well as a great range of other experience gift vouchers for all of our activities.

We hope that you all enjoyed this season’s rafting!

Andy, Ian & team!
