      Epic Canyoning adventure
      Excellent little adventure with breathing scenery and perfect level of adrenaline. Our guides were super skilled and easy going. Would definitely recommend Canyoning with these adventure fans.

      Brilliant Tay rafting
      Great rafting trip down the River Tay. Fun and friendly rafters who looked after us well and provided a fun experience including a swim, a bit of raft acrobatics , time to bird watch and of course the white water. Thank you.

      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 .

      A great day out
      Great fun- we really enjoyed our friendly, knowledgeable guides- Zant and Milo. The last rapid was particularly fun because we were surfing it for at least a minute. Great photos too. Only bad part was when my son tricked me and pulled me over board🤣

      Wheelies on the River Tay
      As a family of 4 we had a fantastic time White Water Rafting with Splash! All new to this activity, we were given clear instructions from beginning to end. Our guide Xan was fun and included plenty of games to make the experience even more enjoyable. Loads of photos were taken along the way by a member of the team on dry land which were free to access and download at the end, capturing all the exhilarating moments. You will get wet but if you're lucky you won't fall out 😉 100% recommend giving this activity a try.

      Not to be missed. Wonderful family experience :)
      Highly recommend. Our host was both highly entertaining & very professional. We got to enjoy beautiful scenery at the same time as exhilirating rapid rides combined with more calm stretches of water to just enjoy our surroundings. We even had the opportunity to jump in and have a splash around for a good bit.

      River Tay Rafting August 2024
      Great morning river Tay rafting. Staff were great with the adults and the kids in the party. Was just right amount of thrills for our 9 and 11 yr olds without being scared. Good value, especially considering good quality photos and videos included in the price.

    Phoned up Splash on the day, hoping they could squeeze us into something adventurous and they didn't disappoint. A couple hours later we were River Bugging which was a new experience for us both. Dean and Xan were fantastic with out group and made it fun, exciting and safe for us. Would recommend to anyone hoping for a bit of an adrenaline rush and a fun activity.

    Very professional but also fun staff. Be prepared to get wet 🤪. Our "skiper" managed to create a successful crew from 6 strangers.

    A fabulous morning spent on The Tummel with Stu our instructor There were only two of us in the group and Stu certainly gave us lots of expert guidance on how to get the highest level of enjoyment from our trip. River Bugging is a fabulous, fun activity providing great excitement for all. I can highly recommend this. A great birthday trip for me. Thank you Stu and Splash

    Didn't know what you expect. The seats are similar to a cut down inflatable canoe
    Such gun. Started tame and then slowly built up. Instructors Bonnie and Freddie were brilliant 👏
