The Experience

Looking for a gift that’s thrilling, different and downright unforgettable? This River Bugging Experience on Scotland’s River Tummel is a wild ride that ticks all the boxes for fun-loving adventurers aged 12 and up.

This unique experience brings a slice of New Zealand to the UK with a water sport that’s fast becoming a favourite for those who like to add a splash of adrenaline to their day. River bugging is done in a small, one-person inflatable that looks a bit like an armchair, but don’t be fooled by its comfy appearance! These nifty little crafts are designed to whip you through white-water rapids, bouncing and spinning through twists and turns as you feel every surge and swirl of the river.

After a full safety briefing and expert instruction from qualified river bug guides, you’ll be kitted out in a wetsuit and webbed gloves, ready to take on the Tummel. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker yourself or buying for someone who loves water sports, this is a brilliant way to do something totally different. It’s fast, fun and a little bit bonkers, in the best possible way.

Perfect for summer river levels and available between March and October, river bugging is ideal for anyone who fancies a solo challenge on the water, with plenty of guidance and support along the way. You’ll navigate your own path down the rapids, making it a personal and exhilarating journey through one of Scotland’s most scenic rivers.

If you're on the hunt for an experience day gift that’s exciting, energetic and full of character, this one will absolutely make waves!
