River Spey

Starting on Loch Insh in the foothills of the Cairngorms and then snaking our way to the North Sea, this river is full of exciting rapids, amazing views and fabulous wildlife.

Trip planning made easy!

We know that when you're on a trip you don't want to worry about logistics, so we've taken care of everything! 

At the end of the trip, we'll get you back to the start location or if you would rather travel onwards from the finish location we'll either drop you in town or help you organise onward travel from the finish location.

When it comes to food we have got a mouth-watering menu put together, so all you have to worry about is enjoying it. 

This is an intermediate trip as it involves a number of big days and open water crossings and whitewater up to class 3.
