Your Adventure, Your Way

Through Autumn and Winter we run a reduced programme in the Cairngorms, so you’ll see fewer ready-made sessions on our calendar. But that doesn’t mean the adventures stop. If you have a small group or specific date in mind, tell us what you’re after and we’ll add a session to suit — on the rivers, lochs, hills or mountains.

You can keep it just for your group, or we can open it up so others can join to help keep costs down. Either way, you get Cairngorms Activities on your schedule.

Pick a Date & Tell Us What You’d Like

Let us know the details, and we’ll set up a session that works for you. All we need is:

  • Group size: A minimum of 6 people to create a new session.
  • Activity choice: Paddle to the Pub, canoeing, archery, bushcraft, and more.
  • Reason for celebrating: Birthday, team day, family gathering – or just because you fancy some adventure!

Once we have your details, we’ll get your session on the calendar.

Private Adventure or Open to Others

When you request a new session, you choose how it runs:

  • Private session: Keep it just for your group, with your own guide and equipment.
  • Open session: We’ll list it on our calendar so other like-minded adventurers can join in too – helping you keep the price lower while meeting new people.

Either way, you’ll enjoy a fun, flexible adventure tailored to your group.

Adventures in Autumn & Winter

The Cairngorms in the quieter months are something special — crisp air, peaceful trails and dramatic views. We make it comfortable and memorable.

  • Quieter places: Fewer crowds on rivers, lochs and hill paths.
  • Big scenery: Autumn colours, frosty mornings and snow‑dusted peaks.
  • Warm & prepared: We provide warmer kit and hot drinks during activities.
  • Flexible plans: Routes tailored to weather and ability, with safety‑first decisions.
  • More coaching time: Smaller groups mean extra attention from your guide.

"Best way to step out of your comfort zone"

We were a group of 6, middle-aged, all varying degrees of fitness. Slightly apprehensive and nervous at first, the guides (Anna and Jan) soon put us at ease and made it fun, even when it got cold. Appreciate the humour and the help and encouragement along the way as needed. Do not hesitate to book this tour, it is awesome! Anyone can participate, of all ages.

"Gorge walking experience, fantastic!"

The guides made the day for us. Big thumbs up! There were 6 of us between the ages of 37 and 50 and we all thoroughly enjoyed our experience. It was exhilarating and one of the top 10 highlights of my life.

"Wonderful experience"

We had a 4-day canoe trip down the Spey for a friend's 60th, couldn't fault in any way. Our guide Dan was patient, friendly and safety conscious for our group of varying experiences, including complete novices. Brilliant experience, wonderful countryside, plenty of wildlife, well organised and good food. I think we all felt we had overcome a few challenges, become more competent and above all had a great time. Thanks to Keith, Dan and the team.
