"A great range of fun activities!"

While on holiday in the Cairngorms we visited the award-winning Cairngorms Activities again and booked ourselves in for a number of activities across the week: canoeing, laser clays, archery, gorge walking and footgolf. The staff are really friendly and provide you with a clear safety brief and instruction to ensure you get the most from the activities. Our favourite activities have to be canoeing down the beautiful River Spey and gorge walking at Bridge of Brown although all were really great fun. Thanks to all the staff, in particular, Rachel, Dan and Ashley for making all the activities so enjoyable!

"Wonderful day!"

A few days ago, my family and I went to Cairngorms Activities for a day of archery and gorge walking. It was absolutely incredible! Great staff, wonderful facilities. Cairngorms Activities' crew didn't miss a beat and they went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great experience. Absolutely recommend.
