White water rafting days

White Water Rafting

White water rafting is an exhilarating experience for friends and groups to enjoy. A white water raft is a large inflatable boat which is guided down stretches of fast-flowing water, during which participants can enjoy the thrill of paddling through river descents and riding through rapids. Each craft carries up to eight people and is guided by expert instructors. On arrival at the white water venue, a full safety brief is given, and customers begin by practising and improving their skills. White water rafting is an ideal activity for learning how to work as a team, and as such is popular as a company event, but it is equally suitable for stag parties or hen parties, or just for an original day out with friends.

Rivers in Perthshire are particularly suited to whitewater rafting, with wild stretches of water and thrilling rapids. Some sections of a river may be more challenging than others, and the level of difficulty will also vary according to seasonal conditions, but the white water rafting experience will be tailored according to the experience of the group. It is therefore necessary to let the venue know of any previous experience in order for the instructors to plan an appropriate itinerary. No experience is required, but it is important that participants have a sense of adventure and are prepared to get wet! More challenging trips can be organised for those who have rafted before or for white water rafting enthusiasts.

Taking part in a white water rafting experience usually lasts half a day, although the length of rafting trips can vary according to the group's requirements and standard. White water rafting can be combined with other activities for a day of multi-activity events, so that typically a morning can be spent racing about on quad bikes on the hills while the afternoon can be enjoyed navigating the rivers in the valleys downstream.
