For the River Wild adventurer who would like to ditch the watercraft entirely, canyoning is the adventure for you! There is no better way to see Scotland (in our opinion) than by having your feet in the water of a river canyon. Once into the canyon, you will follow the river downstream through various modes, ranging from scrambling on foot, sliding, jumping, or abseiling.
Laggan Canyon (or Allt na h-Uamha canyon to use its official name!) offers a great selection of scrambles, slides, jumps and abseils on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park. It’s a perfect environment for beginners and experienced canyoneers alike because there are several options of activity available during the descent.
Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries
Not recommended for pregnant travelers
Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Absolutely amazing experience! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our canyoning. Very knowledgeable and patient instructor Bonnie guided us through the canyon. I was nervous of the jumps but Bonnie gently encouraged me! Great to push yourself out of your comfort zone sometimes! Great quality equipment and wetsuits, loads of photos taken and shared with you after included in the price as well as a hot drink and snack at the end. Thank you very much Bonnie and Jen 😃

This was our second outing with River Wild after previously doing the white water rafting. They provide all kit needed and it’s of great quality, Bonnie and Jen are super knowledgeable and great at putting minds at ease if slightly nervous about anything. Would 100% recommend this company. Very professional from start to finish and have the added bonus of providing quality photos from the trip

Our canyoning with Bonnie from River Wild Adventures was one of the best I’ve been on. The service from beginning to end was faultless and we even had the opportunity to do several of the jumps and slides more than once if we wanted to, which are great for people of all experience levels. All topped off with an unexpected hot drink and a snack at the end. Highly recommend.

Such an amazing experience! Firstly Bonnie and Jen were super helpful and rearranged our session at short notice which was very kind. Bonnie was very knowledgeable and put you at ease :) even though it was scary I really enjoyed it and trusted her! Lot of thoughtful touches and very well organized. Thank you! Louisa and Zach

Had the most amazing experience with Bonnie today! Such a great tour guide. We have done canyoning with a few companies in different places and this is by far the best! Well worth the 3 hour drive and we even got a wee cuppa & biscuit to end the trip which I thought was a great touch. Definitely be back.

Best canyoning experience ever! Our guides were safety conscious, helping us with extra layers, great changing arrangements, hot drinks, and letting people skip any obstacle they want. But also a great chance to experience some big drops, high jumps and cool waterfalls. They don't hold back on the fun, either!

Very well run trip, excellent provision for canyoning kit and felt safety was spot on. I've been on canyoning trips before and this is the best so far. Perfect.

We had an amazing time thanks to Bonnie and Jen. They made us feel comfortable very quickly and we felt very safe all along whilst the river was indeed... wild ;) We would do it again, any time. Cheers
