Information
Activity – What is Rafting?
White Water Rafting is one of the most exciting river activities ever created. White water rafts are engineered to handle everything the river can throw at them. You and your team will work with one of our experienced guides to navigate the rapids. The rapids come in a grade from 1 (flat, scenic) to 5 (high adventure/ risk) . We have access to many rivers from the fun and bouncy Tay (Grade 2 and 3) to the mighty Orchy ( Grade 3,4 and 5). See you on the river.
River Tummel White Water Rafting
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 power the raft through 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 powers and beauty.

Excellent excitement experienced by Pamela Bramble
Review of: White Water Rafting on the River Tay from Aberfeldy
End of season white water rafting and river bugging experience. A great morning of adventure with Johannes, spills and thrills literally as expected. Looking at rapids afterwards couldn’t believe we had gone down what was a v rough section. Then an afternoon or river bugging – very apprehensive but real supportive crew of Aivars and Johannes personally attending to my enjoyment down the Tummel rapids. Excellent safety briefings on both occasions. Huge encouragement and a very rewarding time. Thank you Aivars and Johannes form my experience – if only I was 40 yrs younger i’d Be taking up this new sport.
Review of: White Water Rafting on the River Tay from Aberfeldy
Big thanks to the Splash team for an awesome experience on the Tummel, and great memories from their fantastic photography. Pictures were available online before we sat down for dinner that evening.
Hell of a ride, wanna do it again tomorrow!
I booked this trip as a surprise for my husbands birthday and boy oh boy it didn’t disappoint. We arrived and were immediately greeted by Chris and Steve who were both really friendly, fun and excitable about the next few hours and what we’d endure.
It was obvious they were both extremely experienced in their field and made the safety elements of the session interactive and interesting which kept the entire group focussed (and entertained!!!)
The tummel itself was exhilarating and we never felt unsure or uncertain at any time, Chris was so reassuring and calm it really put us at ease. I even asked him to sing some of his commands to which he obliged and had us all laughing as we journeyed down the Tummel.
The final rapid section and 18ft drop was jaw dropping and despite never having rafted before we weirdly felt in control and it’s all thanks to Chris and his guidance and support. You underestimate the workout you get for the hour you’re on the boat so prepare to feel a little stiff the next day!
Would recommend it in a heartbeat and the free photos from David the photographer was the icing on the cake.
Top notch service and bloody brilliant afternoon out. Anyone thinking about doing it, don’t think….. just do!
wife and myself, having sampled the tay rafting decided on the tummel next and boy what a great day out. The Guides are awesome and informative as always and make sure you have a wonderful time on the river….fantastic people and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a bit of adventure in there lives……big shout out to team Sparta….they know who they are….lol…also a big thanks to Donas for putting up with us lot, wonderful instructor and all round nice guy…thx
We have been rafting on many different rivers all over the world. Thoroughly enjoyed this half day adventure on the beautiful Tummel. Somewhat different than the usual type of rafting we have done as this river does not have high water volume but is very technical with lots of rocks and one big, fun, breathtaking stairstepped drop at the end. Our guide Steve was very good and lots of fun! He has us laughing and smiling the whole way. Highly recommend this adventure!
