White Water Rafting from Aviemore, Inverness, Elgin and Aberdeen

All this snow we are having now will mean another great Spring of White Water Rafting here in Aviemore on the Findhorn River. Spring-early summer 2010 had consistently good river levels for White Water Rafting  and Full Adventure had lots of Spring Stag Dos who from our Aviemore base made the most of the large snow pack that gradually melted to give excellent rafting on the Findhorn river in spring sun shine.

March to June is a great time to book a White Water Rafting trip on the Findhorn and is always a popular time for Stag and Hen do rafting trips. John Mason Full On Adventure’s founder has been running Aviemore rafting trips on the Findhorn since 1997.  As the original company to run regular White Water Rafting trips on the Findhorn we have established ourselves as the specialists for high adventure all day white water rafting trips in Scotland. Our trips are unique from any other Rafting trips in the  Aviemore area and probably the UK as we run all day trips where you can take your time to Raft the best Rapids and also stop off from lunch along the way and enjoy a great BBQ afterwards.

A good winter season that’s a hit with the skiers, will mean a great Spring run off for White Water Rafting. For stag and Hen groups we can help you find a great base in Aviemore or Inverness for your weekends adventures, so book now to ensure avaibility for great White Water this Spring. We have had increasing numbers coming over to the Findhorn rafting with us, for the day from Aberdeenand Elgin, so if a wild way to wake upto summer appeals get in touch.

We offer free photos of your White Water Rafting trips and often take helmet camera videos as well, all included.

To keep you comfortable with have extra warm paddle jackets to go over our full steamer wetsuits, so all you need to do is prepare for the excitement of some stunning white water without worrying about being cold.

If the snow stays longer than expected, no worries, as we have some great skiing and snow boarding for you until it melts in the river for Rafting. For more details of our group combo adventures including White Water Rafting, Adventure River Tubing, Canyoning, Mountain Biking, Skiing, Snow Boarding, Kayak river trips and loads more contact us for the details.

To make your adventure weekend complete add a second or third activity like our brand new River Tubing or the Canyoning.

Back Country Cairngorm skiing today

Wow the landscape is looking stunning right now.

Explored the more remote and much less frequented hills about 10km NE of the main Cairngorm plateau area. 

The NE ridge of Geal Charn (means White Peak, appropriately named right now) gave up some good turns, but for the amount of descent verses approach distance, nexxt time I’ll take the BCX touring skis rather than the [intlink id=”ski-mountaineering” type=”page”]Ski Mountaineering[/intlink] set up.

Introducing River Tubing to Aviemore

We’re proud to announce we are the first tubing company in Aviemore, and the first in Scotland to use specially designed tubes with comfortable padded seats. 

River tubing comes from North America where people relax and enjoy the day floating down a mellow river.

A mellow day might be fun in America, but we just made it better by finding a fast-flowing, amazing mountain stream with fun rapids and stunning scenery to spend the afternoon floating down. So now it’s mellow and exciting all in one super fun activity.

Use our specially designed river tubes to descend one of the great mountain streams of the Cairngorm mountains. Run from our base only 5 minutes from Aviemore.

Descend our unique dancing, bubbling mountain stream, navigate this clear highland mountain river on your specially designed river tube, and as well as the padded seat we provide all the safety gear for an amazing adventure.

We provide head to toe wetsuit warmth, with wetsuit booties, full wetsuits and special neoprene flipper hand paddle gloves to navigate your way down stream.

Drift through beautiful and ancient Rothiemurchus pine forests, with stunning mountain views of the Cairngorms, surrounded by wildlife before running the fun natural water shoots and rapids.

  • Have a relaxing float trip, or an exciting white water adventure, you choose.
  • Floating, splashing, river fun for all the family
