The River Garry is one of our most popular white water rafting rivers. The Grade 3/4 conditions mean that you’ll experience some great rapids that will provide plenty of thrills as we paddle down the river together. The dam-release system that controls this river ensures that you get to experience consistent, high-water fun and big, bouncy rapids. This stretch of river is short, so we’ll run it twice in every trip to make sure that you maximise your experience with us. This also means that the rapids are in quick succession without long stretches of flat water. We tailor every trip to suit you and your groups needs so get in touch with us if you have any requests!
