What people are saying about Perth and Kinross

went with the whole family and had the best time! Our guide dean was spot on, made sure we all had a good laugh and that we were all safe at the same time. Can’t wait to come back but for the bigger rapids! The photos included in the trip just make it that extra bit special too so you have something to take home to remeber the day! Highly recommend

Dean and Roark both looked after us, explained how to go down each rapid in detail making it fun. Beautiful river and scenery. Would recommend this activity

Great adventure experience! Watch out for the guides though! Some are sneaky - you might find yourself out of the boat when the water's calm.

Frankie was brilliant, made us all feel very relaxed and we all had a great time, would highly recommend this activity!

Great activity with teens. Good for learning the basics of whitewater rafting
