Highlights

Splash River Tummel White Water Rafting is situated just north of Pitlochry. Pitlochry is in Highland Perthshire Scotland. The River Tummel is like no other in Scotland. The rafting experience will get you working together with our guide. You need to guide the raft from the beautiful deep pools, down through technical rapids such as Zig-Zag and Sharks Tooth.

The main part of the trip is Grade II/III. This prepares you for the final ‘piece de la resistance’: a two-tier, 18 foot drop (Grade IV) rapid. This drops into the mystical Loch Faskally where we float away from the falls towards home reflecting on the rivers power and beauty.

River Bugs are 1-person rafts that look like giant inflatable armchairs and are perfect to those looking for a unique adventure experience on the  River Tummel. River levels in the summer means River Bugging is ideal for those looking for a little more excitement on the river.

Splash has pioneered River Bugging here in Scotland and as such we are the most experience provider of this fun outdoor activity. On the day you’ll receive expert instruction from our experienced river bug guides and we’ll even provide you with your own webbed gloves. We’ll also be on hand to help you negotiate your own path down the white water rapids.

White water rafting down the river Tay - Fantastic experience, thanks to our guide Mylo , who shared all his experience in making our trip safe and enjoyable, and yes we got wet , we were in the water but felt safe at all times. The scenery down the river is worth the trip alone , the rapids weren’t too exhilarating until the end, but great for a novice. My wife and I came for a birthday treat and had a great Sunday morning, I would highly recommend this .

Great guys, amazing experience! - I with my friend had 2 rafting trips: River Tay and River Tummel. Both itineraries are great. If you have never done rafting before you can try firstly River Tay: it is more laid-back, beautiful landscapes around, so you are more enjoying the surroundings than dealing with river itself. River Tummel is more extreme but still for beginners so you would be alright. Team of Splash Rafting is amazing. They will give you all necessary guidance. As we traveled by public transport, when went to second river - River Tummel, guys gave us a lift from and to train station what was very helpful as it takes 1 hour to walk. I can definitely recommend Splash Rafting team.
