Bungee Jumping

For thrill-seeking holidaymakers coming to Perthshire, we highly recommend bungee jumping from the Garry Bridge, near Pitlochry. Take the plunge from 132 feet (40 metres) over the River Garry, reaching a speed of 50mph! Want it even more exciting? Try the black-out night bungee jump to the sounds of the Highland wildlife!

Whitewater Rafting

Get wet in Perthshire! White water rafting is ideal for thrill-seeking in Perthshire. There are several options in terms of location, but River Tay (the longest and most famous river in Scotland) is undoubtedly the best of all. Starting from Aberfeldy and going for 6 miles, you’ll be able to spot the varied Highland Perthshire wildlife that can be best observed from the river.

River Canoeing and Kayaking

Other exciting water activities you can experience on the River Tay are canoeing and kayaking. Paddling through Perthshire’s picturesque scenery is an adrenaline-filled experience that will have you coming back for more.

Aqualining

Aqualining is a new outdoor activity to Scotland, and hence, a new addition to the thrill-seeking activities in Perthshire too. Aqualining is like slacklining (tightrope-walking) over water. Pretty exciting, right? You can experience this thrilling adrenaline kick at Calvin Gorge, 10 feet above the River Garry.
