Stag & Hen Weekends - White Water Rafting in Scotland

White Water rafting is one of the most popular outdoor activities in Scotland; from our base in Aviemore we can access exciting sections of the river Spey to sections of one of the best white water rivers in Britain, the mighty Findhorn. A stag and hen favourite!
Rafting Trips will usually start at 10am and finish about 4pm however if you want to start earlier or later we can run a bespoke trip to suit your needs, when the weather is favourable we will stop for lunch on the way down the river so bring a pack lunch with you or we can provide you with a pack lunch for a small cost.
All you will need to bring is a spare pair of trainers and a towel we will provide you with wetsuit, wetsuit socks, splash suit and all other safety equipment.
Costs £55 per person for standard day white water rafting trip.
Please note summer river levels can be low so we can use the mini-rafts or go canyoning if your after a full on experience.
If you are in Aviemore for a few days why not try a few of our other activities such as Canyoning, gorge walking, mini rafting, mountain biking, rock climbing, abseiling or skiing

Recent Trip Review

“Great fun - experienced and friendly guides”

I really enjoyed the upper Findhorn trip - despite falling out of the raft after only two minutes! Some big rapids as well as some more sedate sections which allowed us to enjoy the scenery. The section through the gorge was particularly memorable. I organised the trip as part of a stag weekend and would recommend it to any future stag party

Jungle rafting in the Cairngoms!

Found deep in the deep darkest jungle of the Cairngorms we found these stray rafters smashing through white water...........................errr actually it was on the River Findhorn just outside the Cairngorm National Park and we couldn't get a good camera angle as too many trees but hey I thought i'd write a crap blog post about it, however the rafting was awesome with a great trip on the Findhorn, as the skiing is pants we've already had a dozen trips rafting this year and it was uber warm ish on the river today.

The new NTN bindings have added a new dimension to telemarking giving greater stability and control to telemark and freeheel skiing it's so good even Nick has got back on his telemark ski's!

Stag and Hen Zip Line Adventure Tree Trekking!!

Our new activity for stag and hen groups this year is zip lining, this is a great addition to the rest of our stag and hen activities such as rafting, canyoning, mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding. 

Check out the course:-


This has proved popular with all types of groups as it's a great morning or afternoon filler and is a great dry alternative activity to rafting and canyoning.

Here are a few reviews:-

Even in the snow, and with such a big group of us it was brilliant. The zips were fun and just got better as we went along. Definitely worth the money, and a beautiful place! 

Yet again the Lads and Lasses of G2 Outdoor did us proud. 30 odd people enjoyed Mountain Biking, Hill Walking, Duckie Canoes, Gorge Walking and Zip Lining. The Zip Line facility is definitely a must for people to try! As expected, very professional approach from the staff, with humour to add to the experience.

Price is £25 per person

For more information call us on 01479 811008
