Spend a full day paddling down the river, surrounded by peaceful scenery while learning to navigate the gentle currents. This trip is a great way to build confidence on the water, with plenty of time to take in the beautiful Perthshire landscape. With expert guidance and high-quality equipment provided, you’ll have everything you need for a safe and comfortable adventure.
The day begins with a full briefing from your guide, covering safety, paddling techniques, and getting you kitted out with all necessary equipment. Once on the water, you’ll have time to get comfortable with your packraft and practise basic paddle strokes before setting off downstream.
As you travel along the river, your guide will provide tips on boat control and share insights about the local area. There will be stops along the way to take in the surroundings, spot wildlife, and stretch your legs. Midway through, we’ll pause for a relaxed riverside lunch before continuing towards Dunkeld, where the trip finishes.
The journey begins in Pitlochry and follows the River Tay down to Dunkeld, offering a mix of calm waters and gentle moving sections.
As you paddle, you’ll pass through wooded riverbanks, open stretches, and scenic viewpoints, making for a varied and exciting experience.
No previous experience is needed, as the packrafts are stable and easy to handle, making them suitable for beginners.
Participants should be comfortable in water and have a basic level of fitness to paddle for a few hours. All safety equipment and instruction will be provided.
