The canoeing is easy at first but becomes more challenging as we travel downstream through several rapids. It is not just the character of the river which changes - the pine forests take on a new character with each season. These forests are home to a diverse range of wildlife including red deer and capercaillie, and there’s always the chance of spotting golden eagles and other large birds of prey overhead.
Adventurous days on the river will be balanced by tranquil nights in the campsites where we prepare tasty meals each evening, leaving you ready for the challenges of the next day, making this trip the perfect short break escape.
