Meet at the Aberfeldy rafting base on the River Tay, and join up with your instructor-guide. The Tay is perfect for first-time rafters, offering ideal conditions for learning rafting skills.
Don a wetsuit, life vest, helmet, and paddle, and after safety briefings and instructions, climb into your raft. Rafting groups are of various sizes and for all ages from children aged eight and over. Each raft has an onboard guide, and photos will be taken of your trip for you to download afterward.
When you're ready, begin your 6-mile (9.6-kilometer) journey, initially paddling along calm stretches of water. Absorb the tranquility and watch for wildlife as the river winds through rolling hills, and along the way, learn rafting techniques and enjoy fun challenges and games set by your guide.
Get ample time to practice before you reach the first rapids, allowing you to tackle them with confidence. Cross the ‘Zoom Flume,’ and ‘Washing Machine,’ and then navigate the last and longest section, known as the ‘Grandtully Rapid’, which has one or two surprises in store!
Disembark at Grandtully and transfer to Aberfeldy where your 3-hour experience concludes. Feel free after your trip to download your rafting photos as souvenirs.

We had a fantastic day, Milo was the gentleman in charge of our raft and he was nothing short of great. He made everyone laugh, kept everyone involved and ensured we all had a great experience. We would highly recommend to anyone.

Great guide and wonderful experience on the river.
Great scenery from the raft and great value for money.
Luca_G, Aug 2023
It was a great experience. My wife and I did some serious rafting when young, but that’s not the case of this one. For a choice, we wanted to have a relaxed one to introduce our children (12 & 9) to rafting, and river Tay offered exactly what we were looking for. Thanks to our guide, also the quiet parts were entertaining.
Altogether, 5 star
PS. The return with bus was more shaky than the rapids!

After getting over the initial nerves, this was such a fun experience. The views from the river are like nothing you get to see normally, the rapids were great fun and as first timers we felt totally at ease the whole time. Overall with all the equipment included for the whole experience we found it to be great value for money and would highly recommend it.
