Active Outdoors Pursuits Great Glen and Fort Williams

At Active Outdoors Pursuits, we provide the greatest rafting experiences not only because we've been working for over 20 years now and have received the best recognitions that exist (by the Institute of Outdoor Learning or by the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh's International Award as a company who offer excellent activities), but because we work in the fantastic region of For Williams and, to be more precise, at the heart of Great Glen. This Scottish natural treasure is a 62-mile valley where we can find the best lochs to enjoy rafting. 

You have to take the A82 to arrive at our headquarters in this part of the Highlands and, from the former water park that we use now as our installations, we will go straight to the place where we'll hold our sessions: Loch Oich coastline. A curiosity that we always love sharing with adventurers is that the water of this loch is mainly born on the River Garry, which from Thursday to Saturday, its flows grow, giving us the perfect conditions to enjoy the experience. 

Our company also holds the AALA or the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority, demonstrating that we provide safe activities and that we follow the highest standards of quality.

Welcome to Active Outdoors Pursuits in Great Glen and For Williams, the best places to have an incredible rafting time! 

Roy and Sophia Ginson founded Active Outdoors Pursuits in 1999 and, since then, it hasn't stopped growing and spreading their passion for sports in the incredible venues of Scotland. That's precisely what we find in Great Glen and Fort Williams: adventure, activities and nature. In particular, canyoning.

As you know, our center has proudly used the best that this land has to offer: the greatness of its cliff, lakes and caves to jump, climb and swim. To check for yourself why we've been named one of the best companies in the region, you must take the A82 and dare to come to our headquarters in this part of the Highlands. We're pretty close to Inverness, from where you can come taking the A9. As we work now at what once was the Great Glen Water Park, we're in the middle of the best Scottish lochs, like Loch Ness, Loch Garry or Loch Lochy, to name a few. We're also surrounded by comfortable hotels where you can spend the night and pay a visit to the beautiful town we're in. 

As part of our responsibility, we've been praised with important certifications like Scottish Tourist Board, thanks to our boast of this land; or the Duke of Edinburgh Approved Activity Provider, due to our high standards. 

Another reason to trust us apart from our 20 years of experience is it's our team. They've been trained in great programs and they also hold the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority, which means they keep in mind safety in everything they do.
