Highland Activities Blog

With 5 stag parties in this weekend taking part in our full range of activities it has been a busy weekend for Highland Activities. On Saturday we had over 40 people enjoying canyoning and gorge walking in the baking heat with pleasant water temperatures and great water levels after Friday's thunder storms. Our quad biking trips were also fully booked all day as was clay pigeon shooting and archery.

This week we have some awesome white water rafting aailable on Thursday and Saturday with releases of water scheduled for the River Garry giving us guaranteed water levels even if we have no rain. When the dam at the River Garry is releasing we have access to the best rafting in the U.K. during the summer, so make sure that you don't miss out on a fantastic experience.

See you on the water!

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.
