Canyoning/gorge walking

There is no better place to do this activity than on the rivers of the Scottish Highlands!

Combining climbing, abseiling, wading, swimming and cliff jumping this popular activity provides big thrills.

Upon arrival at the centre you will be kitted out in a top-of-the-range 5mm wetsuit, to ensure you stay warm, as well as wetsuit boots, a helmet and a  life jacket. We will then travel the short distance to the head of the river where you will receive a safety brief and instructions.

Using a rope and harness you will be lowered a short drop into the water from the side of the gorge, then along with your experienced instructors will proceed down the river. Swimming or wading in some places, or just floating along, you will encounter fast moving water, waterfalls, drops and large rocks....all of which must be maneuvered to carry on!

We will teach you the correct techniques to jump from ledges and over waterfalls, but there is the option to be rope lowered if you wish. Large bolders blocking the river will be climbed over, or squeezed through.

At the end of the trip our minibus will be waiting to return you to the centre.

No experience is necessary, but you will need to be a confident swimmer and reasonably fit to participate.

Prices from £39 per person
