River Spey Canoeing and Family Paddling with Cairngorms Activities

Join us for an idyllic and gentle paddle on the picturesque River Spey.

With the beautiful Cairngorm peaks as your backdrop, paddle this majestic river with your family or friends in stable Canadian canoes.

Your guide will show you how to manoeuvre your boats before you head off to enjoy a guided tour, spotting wildlife and relaxing in the beautiful natural surroundings as you go. Suitable for ages 7+ years, you’ll be provided with all the kit you need for a safe and enjoyable paddling experience.

We'll head out to our start point by mini-bus and after a relaxing meander downriver, we'll end up back at Craggan Sands at the centre. For families with younger children, our Family Paddling sessions are a great alternative.

Taking place on our purpose-built paddling pond you'll get the opportunity to practice paddling in a variety of crafts, including Canadian canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, all with instruction and guidance from our friendly and knowledgable instructors. Our Family Paddling sessions are suitable for those aged 18+ months plus and take place in a great paddling environment for beginners..
