Make This Summer Legendary in the Scottish Highlands

Looking for something more exciting than theme parks or city breaks? Escape to the Scottish Highlands and dive into a world of wild, rugged beauty and unmatched outdoor adventure.

Canyoning: Wild Waters and Natural Slides

Scotland’s gorges are nature’s own playground – and canyoning is the ultimate way to explore them. With jumps, slides, rope descents, and waterfall swims, canyoning is an unbeatable group activity and a true highlight of any Highland holiday.

White Water Adventures: Paddle into the Thrill

Our white water inflatables experiences take place on the stunning River Leven. With professional guides and high-quality kit, we offer the perfect balance of fun and safety – ideal for families, youth groups, and adults looking for a fun summer splash.

Via Ferrata: Scotland’s Best-Kept Secret

A Via Ferrata is a protected climbing route where you’re always clipped in. It’s a safe and exciting way to climb above rushing waterfalls and through epic Highland scenery. It’s the only Via Ferrata in Scotland, and it’s an experience you’ll never forget.
