The Rafting Company is a river-based adventure operator located in Grandtully, Scotland, serving visitors to Highland Perthshire. The company specialises in two core experiences: stand up paddle board hire for full-day or multi-day exploration, and white water rafting on the River Tummel.
For stand up paddle board hire, The Rafting Company provides a complete hire package delivered ready for transport: a board, paddle, wetsuit, buoyancy aid and a pump. The hire service is designed for paddlers who want to explore local lochs and rivers at their own pace, whether on a single-day outing or a longer multi-day trip.
The white water rafting experience runs on the River Tummel, where guaranteed dam releases create Grade 3 rapids and a notable Grade 4 double-drop waterfall at the Linn of Tummel. The River Tummel rafting trips are offered for participants aged 16 and over and are aimed at people seeking a high-adrenaline river experience in central Scotland.
Based in Grandtully, The Rafting Company operates within Highland Perthshire and promotes easy logistics by packing SUP hire equipment for convenient transport. The business is featured on The Adventure Collective, providing an independently discoverable listing of its trips and practical details for visitors planning river-based activities in Scotland.
