Splash Rafting is based in the heart of Highland Perthshire, Scotland, near the scenic town of Aberfeldy.

Rafting safety is our top priority. While white water rafting does involve some inherent risks, it is generally safe when proper precautions are taken. Our experienced guides provide safety instructions and ensure everyone wears appropriate gear. We will advise in the case of any safety issues.

At Splash Rafting, we hope to spark a love of outdoor activities in people of all ages. Many of our activities are suitable for ages six and up, with some reserved for older children and adults. Check your preferred activity’s webpage or get in touch with us to find out its minimum age.

No prior experience is necessary for most of our rafting activities. Our guided trips cater to all skill levels, from beginners to advanced rafters.

There is no weight limit for many of our activities. However, the following activities do have a weight limit for safety purposes:

• River bugs
• Rafting river Tummel
• Rafting river Orchy
• Paddleboarding

Please get in contact with us for more information.

If you need additional support, we may be able to tailor our activities to you! Most of our offerings can be adapted to our clients’ needs. Simply let us know during booking.

In extreme cases, we do cancel activities because of weather. However, we offer alternative options for those who have booked an activity impacted by severe weather conditions.

For all activities, a sense of adventure is essential!

Activity preparation is straightforward. You will only need to bring a few things to ensure your adventure goes smoothly.

For water based activities:

• Swimwear
• Towel
• Old trainers to wear on the activity

For land based activities:

• Warm clothing / Waterproofs depending on weather conditions
• Sturdy footwear
• Water

Wear comfortable, quick-drying clothes for white water rafting and other trips involving water. Avoid cotton as it stays wet and can make you cold. Water shoes or old trainers with straps are ideal for footwear. Don’t bring anything you wouldn’t want to lose in the rapids!
