About the activity
Join Splash Rafting Limited for a great way to experience rafting on the River Tay in 2-person inflatable river 'Duckies'! Duckies are a cross between a white water raft and a kayak, and provide the ultimate white water thrill for both beginners and more advanced paddlers. With 193 kilometers, the River Tay is the longest river in Scotland, and it runs from the west to the east of the country, crossing diverse lochs and cities on its way. This amazing 'Ducky' excursion on the River Tay from Aberfeldy will allow you to explore and enjoy the stunning landscapes of this incredible river, while you splash, paddle, and ride around it with an expert instructor!
On the day of your 'Ducky' excursion on the River Tay from Aberfeldy, near Edinburgh, you'll need to arrive at the meeting point in the Splash Rafting headquarters. There, you'll meet your expert instructor who will give you a thorough safety and activity briefing, as well as give you tips and tricks on how to handle the 'Ducky' with your raft partner. Then, you can leave whatever you don't need in your car and trust the keys to the team, who will keep them safe while you're having fun. And once you're ready, you'll hop on the vehicle that will drive you toward the starting point of the activity.
You'll gear up with your wetsuit, life jacket, helmet, and paddle, as your raft leader helps you board the 'Ducky'. Then, it's time to paddle! You'll ride the river's current, passing through amazing rapids and tranquil pools. All the while, your raft leader and the manager on dry land will guide and instruct you on how to ride the rapids safely, but be prepared for high adrenaline drops and big splashes! Once you reach the end of the circuit, you'll head back to the meeting point to change and debrief with your instructor before this wonderful 'Ducky' excursion on the River Tay from Aberfeldy, near Edinburgh, comes to an end.
'Ducky' rafting experiences also have the advantage of running all year round, given that the more rain there is, the bigger the rapids! All you have to bring on this amazing 'Ducky' excursion on the River Tay from Aberfeldy is your swimsuit, some old sports shoes that can (and will) get wet, a base layer to wear under your equipment (hopefully not cotton), and anything else you might need (medication, snacks, etc.) to spend an amazing 3 hours riding the rapids and observing the stunning landscapes of this Scottish region.
