About this tour
Launch yourself down the River Nith on an inflatable tube, charging through rapids and natural slides on this three-hour white-water adventure near Dumfries. You'll navigate twisting channels, hit standing waves, and for the bold, leap from riverside rocks into pools below. The river does the work; your job is to brace, laugh, and soak it all in. Wetsuits and safety kit included.

What to expect
You'll be kitted out in a 5mm wetsuit, neoprene jacket, socks, helmet, and buoyancy aid—expect to look slightly ridiculous and feel completely secure. Your guide will brief you on technique, then you'll enter the water and let the current take you. The river oscillates between slower sections where you catch your breath and explosive rapids where you grip the tube handles hard. Natural rock formations create chutes and drops; optional jumps add extra adrenaline if you're game. Plan for a thorough soaking and cold water on your face.
Good to know
Bring trainers or water shoes you're happy to lose—no sandals or Crocs. You'll need moderate fitness and no spinal issues, heart conditions, or pregnancy. Public transport serves the location well. Arrive with your own shoes already on; you'll change into wetsuits on-site.
