Here at Activity Scotland, we love a thrill-seeking activity that is not for the faint of heart. One of our best adventures for this is white water rafting on Scotland’s River Tummel. Perfect for the adrenaline-junkies experienced white water rafters or those who love a challenge, there are many reasons why we offer, and why you should choose, River Tummel white water rafting.
1. The Scottish Hydro Electric power
The rapids are at their best when
the Scottish Hydro Electric releases huge amounts of water from their dam on the River Tummel called the
Clunie Dam. This is where our white water rafting on the River Tummel experience starts. Due to the volume
of water released, we can enjoy not one, but two rapids.
2. The Washing Machine
No, we do not recommend you wash your clothes,
the Washing Machine is one of our aptly named rapids. As soon as you enter, you will know exactly what it
is like to be in a washing machine. With the power of the water, this first part of the River Tummel
adventure will get you pumped up for the rest of the trip. Not far from the Washing Machine is Zoom Flume,
which is a wet and wild way to zoom through Perthshire.
3. Zig-Zag
The epic four-mile journey continues as you enter the zig-zag
which are our extreme rapids. Not a blink and you will miss it a moment; the zig-zag takes power,
paddle-skills and a lot of laughs as you try to navigate through one of the toughest, untameable stretches
of the river. Once through, you will then encounter the menacing Shark’s Tooth.
4. The big finale
Once you have successfully navigated the four-mile
action-packed adventure, you may be feeling pretty proud of yourself. However, you have no time to rest as
your raft is taking you over a staggering 18-foot double drop named the Linn of Tummel. We guarantee you
will want to come back for more!

Booked a 'stag do' through Karen at Activity Scotland. The location itself at Boreland was fantastic. Karen’s organisation was first class and all communication was prompt and accurate. I wouldn’t hesitate to book activities again via Activity Scotland- thanks Karen.
4 of us went canyoning today as a birthday celebration. It was fantastic! Highly recommend it! If all guides are as good as Andy then you're doing something right. Ally was amazing. Super friendly, funny and really knowledgeable. Made our morning. We're already planning our next outdoor adventure
We had a fantastic time thanks to the personal and professional help from Karen. The accommodation, recommended activities and guidance throughout our stay was all credit to a flawless service. We would highly recommend 10/10!
Booked a stag do with AS and could not have asked for a better service. The activities were well run, the staff friendly and everyone had a brilliant time. Shout out to Karen who organised it all for us and the excellent communication from initial enquiries right through to the end.
