The Paddling:

A twist on our classic! 5 days of paddling but instead of it being in the spring/autumn months we bring you this trip in the SUMMER. An opportunity to push your paddling to the next level on a range of grade 3+/4 whitewater. The trip is going to be a "road trip" style adventure as we will be chasing the water whether that is in the form of rain or dam releases.

We don’t include accommodation on this trip so we can stay flexible about where and when we paddle, making the most of conditions each day. For the first part of the trip (Tuesday to Thursday), we recommend booking accommodation in the Fort William or Spean Bridge area. For the second part (Friday to Saturday), look for options around Perth.

 

Previous clients have chosen a range of options, including staying in their vans, Airbnbs, hotels, and hostels. Camping is also possible; however, please note that at this time of year midges are common in the evenings, so come prepared if you plan to camp. We’re very happy to provide recommendations and local guidance to help you find the best place to stay.

 

We aim to paddle as many of the "classic" rivers as we can during this trip and aim for them to be different each day unless the group decides they want to revisit a particular river. Rivers that could be paddled depending on the group and water levels - Etive, Orchy, Spean, Roy, Moriston, Nevis, Findhorn, Garry, Tummel, Lyon.

What’s unique about our trips is that there is much more than just paddling. With our experience and local knowledge collected from the past 10 plus years, you’ll get opportunities on and off the water to see an array of incredible wildlife, historic sights and breathtaking views.

Client Reviews

"Had the best week in Scotland. Some of the most professional guiding/ coaching I’ve come across. Great atmosphere on and off the water. Cant wait to paddle with Rapid Skills again!"

"Loved every minute of it, Josh gave us clear simple short instructions at the right time. He then demonstrated that by running the section showing us what he meant. There was no pressure to run sections that were harder."
