Canoeing on The River Spey

Join us for a relaxed paddle down the River Spey, taking in the sights of the Cairngorms from the water. This is a great way to experience the Highlands—peaceful, unhurried, and surrounded by nature.

We’ll meet at our centre to get you kitted up before heading upstream to the launch point. After a quick intro from your guide, you’ll set off downstream in stable Canadian canoes, learning a few paddling skills as you go. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the changing scenery along the way.

You’ll finish back at our own beach on the river, with time to get changed, enjoy a coffee, and even fit in a quick round of golf if you fancy.

Suitable for ages 7+
