If you're looking for a fun way to get your adrenaline running, our River Bugging Experience is perfect. With one and a half hours on the water tackling the rapids, drops and splashes on the River Tummel in Aberfeldy. On arrival you will receive an introduction to learn how to safely river bug and get on all the gear provided to you by the centre. Before heading down the rapids your experienced instructors will help you try out the techniques with your webbed gloves in still water. This sport is a newer craze for those who love riding rapids. Don't forget your towel as you will definitely be getting wet.
