Compact enough to carry between spots, it suits guests who want a flexible self-guided adventure on the water without a heavy traditional boat. 📋 Key Details Duration: Half day (4 hours) or full day (8 hours) Minimum age: 8 (under 16s with an adult) Craft: Single-person packraft Collection or delivery: Callander shop, or delivery to selected lochs and sites Experience: Suitable for beginners with a short briefing 🏄 What to Expect This is a self-guided hire of one packraft per person. After a short briefing on inflation, basic paddling, and safety, you set off with the craft, paddle, buoyancy aid, and route recommendations. The compact design suits mixed land-and-water plans when you want to move between access points. You can collect from the Callander shop or choose delivery so you start closer to the water. Expect a flexible day with room for short shore stops, photo breaks, and exploring quieter bays at your own pace when conditions allow. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Light rain is often fine, but strong wind or unsafe water may mean a different launch point or a rearrange. Optional water shoes, childrens wet shoes, phone cases, and dry bags can be added at checkout. 📍 Location Hire is based in Callander, with easy access into Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Collect from the shop or arrange delivery to Loch Lubnaig, Loch Venachar, Loch Voil, Strathyre Cabins, Loch of Menteith, Monocle Moore, or Tymore for an additional delivery fee shown at booking. Calm loch waters and forested shores make this a strong choice for a relaxed paddle with room to explore bays and viewpoints at your own pace. ✅ Prerequisites Paddlers must be aged 8 or over and confident swimmers. Under 16s need an accompanying adult. Bring photo ID and clothing suitable for getting wet. One packraft is hired per person. If you are new to paddling, ask for a sheltered launch recommendation and consider a half-day hire first so you can settle into the craft comfortably. 🌟 Why Choose Us Your hire includes the packraft, paddle, buoyancy aid, and route recommendations so you can plan a safe day.

A packraft is a light inflatable craft designed for one person. It is easy to carry when deflated and quick to inflate at the water, which suits guests who want flexibility between shore, trail, and paddle. It works well for beginners and improvers who want a simple self-guided day on calm lochs rather than a heavy traditional boat. ### Do I need experience? No prior packrafting experience is required. You will get a short briefing on inflation, basic paddling, and safety before you set off. If you are new to paddling, choose a sheltered loch and a half-day hire first. Staff can recommend a route that matches wind, fitness, and confidence. ### What ages can hire a packraft? The minimum age is 8. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult for the whole hire. All paddlers need to be confident swimmers. Please share ages when you book so the right buoyancy aids and advice can be prepared for your group. ### Can packrafts be delivered to a loch? Yes. You can meet at the Callander shop or choose delivery to Loch Lubnaig, Loch Venachar, Loch Voil, Strathyre Cabins, Loch of Menteith, Monocle Moore, or Tymore for an additional delivery fee shown at booking. Choose your meeting point at booking and you will receive clear instructions so you can start closer to the water. ### How long can I hire for? Standard options are a half day of about 4 hours or a full day of about 8 hours. A longer hire suits picnic stops and exploring further along the shore. Check daylight and weather when you choose your length. Staff can help you match a route to the time you have booked. ### What should I wear? Wear clothes you can get wet and soft-soled footwear that stays on. Flip-flops are not suitable. A waterproof layer helps if it is breezy. Optional water shoes and dry bags are available as add-ons. Bring a towel and a change of clothes for after your paddle. ### What happens if the weather is poor? Wind and water conditions are checked carefully. Light rain is often fine, but strong wind or unsafe loch conditions can mean a different launch point or a rearrange. If the hire cannot run safely you will be contacted with options. Safety always comes first. ### What is included? Your booking includes the packraft, paddle, buoyancy aid, and route recommendations. That covers the essentials for a self-guided session. Extras such as water shoes, childrens wet shoes, waterproof phone cases, and dry bags can be added at checkout. Food, drinks, and transport are not included. ### Can I combine packrafting with walking or cycling? Yes. The compact design makes it easier to carry between access points than a rigid craft. That is part of the appeal for mixed land-and-water days. Ask for route ideas that keep portages short and stick to suitable access points. Always check conditions before committing to a longer link-up. ### Where do we meet and is there parking? Unless delivery is booked, meet at 6 Leny Road, Callander, FK17 8BA for kit, briefing, and inflation advice. This is the usual collection point. Parking is available in and around Callander. In peak season arrive a little early so your hire start is not rushed. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/pack-rafting-in-scotland-e1709219974176-2.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
