Raft Float Trip

Rafting float trip is about fun with the family on a gentle section of Highland River where the river Spey runs through Aviemore; it is gentle with lots of great mountain views and wildlife. This trip is for families with young children 5 years +. We paddle a fairly short section of river about 6km,where the water and guide do most of the work letting you enjoy the scenery have fun on the water, paddling and playing games

  • Can be booked with 3 days notice or less in summer
  • Suitable for all families with young children 5 yrs+.

Sessions are up to 2 hours* on the river which we have found is about right for young children and we allow 3 hours to include meet & greet, safety briefing, kit up and transport back to start point. (*extact timings can vary due to river level changes and prevailing weather conditions.)

Price

£40pp when booked with Silverglades accommodation. Normal retail price is £45pp

Session Days and Times

Scheduled trips on Tuesdays 10am or 2pm. Return transport to Full On Adventure meeting place is included in the price.

Any days for groups of 6+

What to Bring

All clients need towels, spare clothing, sun screen, hats if cold and sun hats if warm plus snacks and drinks. Clients also need to bring any medication they might need with them and tell our instructors prior to session starting and also disclose any other medical or injury history which might effect them during the session so that we may care properly for them.

For Rafting float trips clients are asked to bring their own waterproofs and warm clothing if cold, as we can provide it but it is easier for clients to wear their own clothing, plus they need dry shoes and socks for afterwards, we always recommend a full spare set of clothing just in-case. Swimming ability is not a requirement for any of our activities but clients should notify instructors of weak or non swimmer ability so that we can care according for clients on the activities.

Note: The Raft Float Trip is not white water so if you have older kids, 10yrs+ we would recommend you choose our other family trip which is called Fun River Rafting
