PRIVATE HALF-DAY CANOEING ADVENTURE

Explore Highland Perthshire on a private guided open-canoe journey with Beyond Adventure. Open canoes are stable, sociable and highly versatile, making them especially well suited to families and groups with mixed ages or abilities. Canoes can be paddled solo, as a pair or together as a family crew.

Your guide will shape the trip around your party and select the best venue for the day. Possible locations include Loch Tay, Loch Faskally, the River Tay and the River Lyon. Depending on conditions and your preferences, the experience may be a relaxed loch paddle or a gentle river journey through beautiful Perthshire scenery.

What to expect

  • A private half-day experience for up to six people
  • No previous canoeing experience required
  • Expert instruction in paddling, steering and working together as a crew
  • A route and pace adapted to families, beginners and mixed-ability groups
  • A chance to see Perthshire’s landscape and wildlife from a quieter perspective
  • All activity and safety equipment included

Because this is a private booking, younger children can join and the guide can tailor the session around their confidence, attention span and enjoyment. The private format also allows more time for individual help and gives your party the freedom to enjoy the journey at its own pace.

Price and group size

The price is £300 for the whole private booking, covering up to six people. With a full group, that works out at £50 per person.
