Guided White Water Canoe

We do offer guided days both tandem but also solo

With the Highlands as our backdrop and the river as our path, every trip is different. We choose the best venue on the day based on levels and conditions, ensuring a safe, enjoyable, and memorable outing.

This isn’t a formal training course though you’ll naturally pick up tips, tricks, and confidence as we go. It’s a guided adventure with the support of someone who knows how to make the most of the water while keeping the day comfortable and rewarding.

This guided day is all about journeying through Grade 2 (3) rapids, enjoying the river as it comes, and experiencing the natural rhythm of moving water with the support of an experienced Paddle UK White Water Canoe Leader.

We’ll explore the river at a relaxed pace, picking fun lines, reading the flow, catching eddies, and enjoying everything from gentle features to more technical sections. The focus is on having a great day out on the water.
