Normally you would meet your Instructor at the venue – the best river in Scotland for grade 2; the Spey – although we can tailor to groups wishing to go elsewhere if you wish. You would meet at 10:00 – kit up, do a shuttle (you will need to help with this we will all drive to the top leaving just one vehicle at the bottom with any change of clothes in etc for the end – when we get off the water we can pick up the other vehicles) 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!

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). Any photos will get put on social media and we can (if requested) share the high definition ones with you as well. 

We pride ourselves on providing as much kit as possible for you.  However, the list below is what we recommend you should bring to your White Water Rafting Grade 2 adventure activity:

  • Something to go underneath a wetsuit – swimwear or a spare pair of underwear. (We do provide swimshorts to wear over the top of the wetsuit for greater style and modesty.)
  • Travel insurance. (We are insured for all our trips, but we recommend everyone has their own travel insurance as well.)
  • Transportation to the venue. (We may be able to help with this though – if you need transportation please drop us an enquiry and we can see what we can do to help.)
  • Lunch, water.
  • Personal medication
  • Sun cream, midge net

Here at Highland Outdoor Adventures, we pride ourselves on providing as much as we can but you are welcome to bring your own equipment if you do prefer. The list below is what we provide you with on the day of your White Water Rafting Grade 2 adventure activity.

  • Buoyancy aids.
  • Wetsuits
  • Helmets.
  • Neoprene wetsuit boots.
  • Swimshorts to go over the top of wetsuits.
  • All instruction.
  • All first aid and safety equipment.
  • Photographs of the day provided for you at no extra cost! If the weather is good we will have a DSLR professional camera and maybe even a drone, so we can take photos and videos of your adventure and you can look back at the day for years to come. If the weather is less favourable we will bring a GoPro (as it is waterproof) so we will still be able to take photos for you.
  • Fully certified instructors.
  • Changing robes or a pop up tent for those who wish or need more privacy getting in a wetsuit.
