Edinburgh whitewater rafting

Edinburgh white water rafting intro

White water rafting is undoubtedly one of our most popular and most social adrenalin sports you could wish for. Our Edinburgh rafting experience just so happens to boast the best white water in the UK, spread over 4 of Scotland’s finest rivers. Our craft's are specially constructed to carry up to 8 adrenalin-seeking participants, hurtling down some of the most extreme rapids around.

Each boat is expertly guided down stream by our highly qualified instructor who is familiar with the river and its obstacles, ensuring you get the best aquatic white knuckle ride possible. On your journey you and the guys will be encouraged to work together as you bump and glide your way along the rivers natural course, whilst enjoying the ferocious rapids and drops!

format:	On arrival at the rafting base you will sign in and be introduced to your instructors for the session. You will then make your way to the wet room to collect your wet/dry suit, safety equipment and of course; your all important paddle. You will then make your way up to the ‘put in point’ where you will run through a quick briefing before slipping into the river. You will start off by practicing a few basic commands, and playing a couple of games which always end up with you in the water! Once everyone has had a refreshing dunk it’s down to business, where you will hurtle down into the grade 2-3 rapids, which include the infamous ‘boulder dash’ and ‘death fang’. The crescendo of your rafting experience comes in the form of a two tier 20 foot drop (grade 4) which will leave you and the boy’s speechless. You should be able to run the rapids 2-3 times over depending on how much you can take.
duration:	Your session will last approx 3 hours including kitting up and briefings, you will normally spend 2 – 2.5 hours on the water so don’t be surprised if you turn into a prune. Start times are 9.30 – 12.30 all year and an addition start time of 14.30 during the summer months.
equipment:	We pride ourselves on providing some of the best rafting experiences in the UK, so no penny is spared when it comes to your equipment. At our Scottish rafting site we use the latest 8 berth rafts and T-grip paddles, as well as the best wet and dry suits around. Your safety is of the up most importance and you will each be issued with a life jacket and helmet.
transfers:	Unfortunately you’re not going to find the UK's best rapids just tumbling down the Royal Mile, our rafting site is approx 1 hour north of Edinburgh. If you have your own transport great, if not this can be arranged for as little as £10 per person return.
clothing:	Although you will be issued with a wet/dry suit you will still need swimming gear to go underneath, it is also advisable to wear a T-shirt. Remember to bring a towel and toiletries, Eau du river water is never going to go down well with boys on the way back into town!
availability:	Our Edinburgh white water rafting is available all year round, nothing like a nice cold November morning to awaken the soul.
group size:	6+.
restrictions:	Under 18 age restrictions may apply. Non swimmer please advise your instructor on arrival.
experience:	None required.

comment:	As far as UK white water rafting goes, the Scottish rivers are simply the best, nowhere else in the country will you get grade 2-4 rapids all year round. If the boys have all done the standard paintball & go-karting before, then our wet and wild Edinburgh rafting experience is going to blow them clean out of the water!
