White Water Rafting River Findhorn Grade 3/4

Normally you would meet your Instructor at the venue on the day at the ardclach church car park  10:00 on the side of the river Findhorn – although we can tailor to groups wishing to go elsewhere or paddle different sections of the river (if so drop us an enquiry). You would meet at 10:00 – kit up, do a shuttle (you will need to help with this, we will drive to the bottom and take 1 vehicle back to the top dropping off the driver at the end of the day for their vehicle) and then be on the river the rest of the day before parting ways sometime around 14:00-15:00 depending on how quick the river is on the day!

You will then head out onto the river rafting down rapids like Ardclach, Logie Bridge, Elephants Rock, Dragons Tooth and the might Carnage Corner all grade 3/4. There will be opportunities to swim or push your friends in on occasion and your instructor will let you know when you can do so. safely. 

Your instructor will cover all the necessary safety information for you and provide all the equipment for the day that you could possibly want. On top of that we will provide high quality DSLR photos from the trip (so long as the weather isn’t terrible in which case we will use a go-pro to take photos). All photos will be put on social media afterwards and we can share the high definition copies with people free of charge if people want.
