Adventure Scotland - brought to you by Scotland's National Tourism Organisation

Looking for fun, adventure, challenges on the Scottish rivers and lochs or on the mountains and crags this summer. Then look no further than Snowgoose!

What we do best:

Introduction to kayaking courses from 1-3 days either on one of many progressive, inspirational, well structured, predated courses. Or come with a group of friends to suit your own availability dates, the group¿s aspirations, needs & budget. At the end of a few days¿ kayaking at this level you should be able to independently take part in a short kayak journey on easy water. No previous experience is required; you should be reasonably fit and happy to spend a full day in the outdoors.

River Runners An ideal progression for those who have mastered the basic skills and paddling in a straight line in a kayak! An introduction to white water kayak skills on local rivers grade 1-3 over 2-5 days.

White Water River Day Tours 1 day tours on local rivers Grade 2-3. A really brilliant confidence builder for those who have paddled some white water before who want a 'crash' course with an introduction to the exciting rivers of the area.

Rapid River & Rough Waters Paddlers 2-5 days on really white water for those who are already confident paddlers & ¿rollers¿ in white water - or wish to become more so! These are best done when we have more water in the local rivers - in the Spring or Autumn ¿ on water grade 3-5. We also offer a river guiding service to those who are unfamiliar with rivers in the area. With a high input, dedicated & reduced instructor to student ration plus well-qualified & experienced staff, progress & safety is ensured.

Progressive Activity Skills Days & Programs for Groups 1 - 5 days. Specific kayak skills training directed at maximum enjoyment & ¿fun¿ along with improving confidence & competence on the rivers. With high input, dedicated & reduced instructor to student ratios plus well-qualified specialist instructors, progress is ensured.

Outdoor Discovery & Explorer Programs & Camps for Clubs, Groups, Schools, Community Groups & Colleges. 3 - 8 days. Specially designed paddlesports exploration & development skills programs which focus on learning how to live often in remote or wilderness locations, sometimes unsupported and mainly self propelled.

Useful info

Equipment provided?

All technical paddling gear/ equipment -

What do I need to wear?

We will provide a full personal equipment list.
Suitable outdoor paddling clothing (light weight wind & waterproof outer garments if you have them or paddling cagoule). Some sort of old trainers, which you do not mind getting wet, or proper wet feet. We are happy to give advice on this ¿ you can hire when you get here ¿ before spending money on gear you may not use again! You will need some sort of fleece top or rugby type shirt to wear under your cagoule plus warm tracksuit type bottoms.

What do I need to bring?

Although we do provide dry bags it is useful to bring a waterproof day sac to carry your ¿butties¿ and a drink to have at mid-day. You will need a spare fleece/ sweater plus a change of dry clothing & towel. Bring any of your own technical gear if you have it plus a map & compass.

When can I do it?

The main white water paddling seasons are in the Spring from March/April or in Autumn ¿ with the best months being May ¿ June. But the Scottish rivers & lochs are always open for business for easier kayak paddling on rivers & lochs.

Is there a pub nearby?
