River Orchy White Water Rafting
River Orchy White White Water Rafting is a Grade 3 to 5 River Rafting Experience.
Situated in the heart of the Grampian mountains, in Argyll, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life, lies Glen Orchy. This is a tranquil little glen, dotted with a couple of farms surrounded by steep, rugged mountains.
It contains a dark secret, for here lays the River Orchy. In the summer it is a gentle trickle, but add typical Scottish weather from October onwards and the trickle grows into a raging torrent!
Rafting at its best
This is rafting at its best! A 'full-on' alpine style river that has no respect for anyone daring to travel along it's twisting path. We at Splash have pioneered regular descents, both in high water and normal flows, down what is regarded as the UK's best rafting river. We have probably run more trips on the Orchy than all the other rafting companies put together! If you are looking for the most challenging, exciting and pure adrenaline-fueled whitewater then this is for you!
River Orchy White Water Rafting is a day trip, where we cover ten miles of the river. We run through nine major grade 3, 4 and 5 rapids. Anyone wishing to raft this river must be able to move at fairly short notice to take advantage of the best possible conditions. This is not a river for the faint of heart, raft if you dare!!
This trip is recommended for individuals and groups who have rafted before or are water sports and adventure enthusiasts. Strictly 18 years plus. Please check suitability with our office before booking this trip!
