Findhorn river will give you a perfect combination of extreme white water kayaking, as it is one of the most famous destinations, due to its massive drop gradient of 152 m/500 ft.
Findhorn River crosses Moray Firth city, giving in to Findhorn bay. This is a famous destination in Scotland for kayakers, since the spot is ideal for white water kayaking, due to its rough water quality.
This river is one of the longest rivers in Scotland and it is considered to be a classic kayaking destination. Because of its rough water flow, it has various grades of difficulty, starting from 2 to 4. There is a bit of everything here, from mini gorges to open rural stretches. There are also put in and egress points at Logie Bridge and Daltulich Bridge, providing a nice range of distant options.
There is an organized school, which will offer you lessons, covering from beginner’s level to expert’s one. The riverside nature is awesome with many forestry parts, so after the end of your journey, don’t miss to scroll around and take a complete taste of the Scottish nature.
