Come and join us on a day of thrilling adventure, as you explore the beautiful scenery from a unique perspective on a river tube, and take a leap of faith under the safe, expert guidance of your instructor.
You’ll meet your guide at around 1:30 pm, then head out on the perfect summer half-day adventure in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. River tubing is ideal in low-water conditions, as you race through the rapids and swells, and is the perfect activity for all ages and levels.
Your guide will be totally qualified and an expert in the water, and we always ensure there is at least one guide for every eight of our guests. In the event that the water-level is too high, your guides will be able to find a suitable section of the river.
The River Findhorn, the river on which you’ll be exploring, is one of Scotland’s best-kept secrets, and the area surrounding Randolph’s Leap is one of the most atmospheric, beautiful areas on the entire river.
Ancient forests of oak, alder, ash, Caledonian pine and beech trees fringe the edge of a dramatic gorge, where the clear, rushing waters have carved sculptures in the pink granite and hard grey gneiss rocks.
Start by getting changed in a heated changing room, then hop on the bus receive a safety briefing from your instructor before arriving for the experience to begin. Stroll past the tree with the claim of being the tallest in the UK, then head to your first rapid where you’ll spend some time getting used to controlling the tube.
You’ll float through the exact location where Alistair Bane and his three companions jumped across as they retreated from the Battle of Whitmore, and it’s at this point where everyone stops to work their way up a series of cliff jumps, the highest one being 24 feet – if you’re brave enough…
Depending on the water flow, you’ll then negotiate the next rapid or queue up to jump into the cauldron, where you’ll plunge over a 1.5m waterfall in your tube!
After exploring more waterfalls, weirs and other fascinating features, your unique activity in Scotland ends when you reach the confluence with the River Divie, where a short walk reunites you with the bus and your warm dry clothes before you head back to the centre.
