Highland Activities Blog

It's been a while since we last posted due to lots of exciting changes with Highland Activities. We now have a new centre based at The Great Glen Water Park near Invergarry just north of Fort William.

This now gives us two fantastic locations with an even wider range of activities.

Today we were out water skiing and wake boarding on Loch Oich at the water park site, the water and weather were both pretty good. We also had lots of customers enjoying bumper rides (inflatable doughnuts being towed behind the fast speed boat). The guys that have been learning to kayak this week have also been having fun on the water with some fantastic coaching from Steve our kayak coach.

Yesterday we were out on the River Awe near Oban where the release of water from the dam gave us some fantastic grade 2 to 3 rapids for white water rafting and duckie rafting. The River Awe is a great trip for families and anyone looking for a good introduction to white water rafting. This river is just outside Oban and easily accessible for people on holiday in the area and approximately 1 hour from Fort William.

We have a busy weekend ahead with several stag parties coming along to enjoy some quad biking, canyoning, clay pigeon shooting and tomahawk throwing.

Cheers for now, check back soon for more news and images from the summer season.

With the Autumn colours now in full flow our scenic quad biking trips are proving to be very spectacular. With the colours changing on the trees and water in the rivers giving us fantastic autum scenery we think that this is a great time of year to get out into the hills of Scotland on a quad biking trip. The wildlife that we have spotted recently has also been on the up with sightings of Buzzards, Red Squirrels, Satgs and Golden Eagles throughout September and October.
