A must do in Loch lomond Hello I just wanted to share my experience of this activity We came in as a large group initially just for our kids but all the parents were tempted to try it out for themselves. Bear in mind we are 40 something non athletic adults with no prior experience and just wanted to give it a go. The team at the desk and the lad were exceptional in making us comfortable and guided us every step of the way . Especially our guide could probably do the whole thing with his eyes closed lol. We were 14 in total and each one of us completed the course and the sense of achievement especially for myself who has never attempted anything like this before was phenomenal. This is a must do activity for all ages! P.s I dropped my bracelet while hanging on the ropes and they very kindly kept it for me and posted it and I will be forever grateful for their help in this because it was a memorable piece of jewelry for me. Thank you Go Wild!read moreread less

Lots of Fun! Went with my partner and the experience was flawless from start to finish. The staff were very knowledgeable and chill, which was helpful as it created a more relaxing atmosphere to relax the nerves a bit. At no point did we feel unsafe, all staff very alert to everyone on course. Great afternoon adventure for the two of us.read moreread less

In Your Element offered fantastic, prompt, and flexible service to me and my friend, heading up to the Cairngorms area for some hiking. In typical Scottish fashion, the weather took a turn for the worst the week prior to our trip, and In Your Element fielded changing requests re: pick and drop off with courtesy and enthusiasm. The bikes were a dream to cycle too. Would definitely recommend using and will do so when back in the Cairngorms and planning on a day out on the bikes.

We had a great experience with IYE. Chris and Andy led our e-bike ride around a beautiful area of loch Ness. Both our guides were very chilled and nothing was too much trouble. The bikes were well maintained and had no mechanicals . Thoroughly recommend you use these guys to give you a great e bike experience in the wilds of Scotland.

My day at Rothiemurchus was perfect. The Quad Tour in the morning was awesome. I had Lunch at The Barn café and I did some Axe throwing in the afternoon. I can not recommend it enough. It’s a great variety of things you can do or just enjoy a coffee or lunch.

Price was £ extremely reasonable for 3 hours . We would definitely book again. The Loch was so so peaceful and beautiful to row around. Not to many people on the Loch which made it nice for us to gently row around. Absolutely do this activity.read moreread less

We booked a 2–3 hour canoeing experience, and our guide Rob was fantastic! He was fun, supportive and made everything feel easy, even though the windy weather wasn’t helping. We paddled to a beautiful waterfall and enjoyed a lovely tea break along the way

This ropes course is quite challenging compared to some I've been on in the US. The staff are fantastic. When they "rescued" my son (helping him exit midway through), they were not only professional and safe but actively reassuring him which is important when you're about to be lowered 25 ft on a cable.

Leuk (maar prijzig) klimbos Leuk maar klein klimbos in balloch. Het is met een gezin best prijzig (€165!!), maar mag op vakantie natuurlijk niet missen. Bij aankomst netjes ontvangen en uitleg gehad. Het zijn 2 banen die je af kan werken. De banen zelf zijn netjes en afwisselend. De hoogte valt wel mee (heb zelf hoogtevrees!). Je gaat met een groep van ongeveer 10-12 mensen per half uur. Hou er rekening mee dat er dus mensen voor je kunnen zitten die het wat minder goed kunnen of wat spannender vinden. Dan duurt het wat langer. Tussendoor is er bij baan een 1 zipline en bij baan twee zijn er 3 ziplinen. Vonden de kids leuk! Een leuke middag gehad. De jongens die er werken zijn hartstikke vriendelijk en behulpzaam.read moreread less

We done both courses today and found them to be the perfect mix of challenge and enjoyment- the final zip line was our favourite! All of the instructors we encountered on the course were super friendly and on hand to help. The new owner is a credit to the business and it sounds like there will be various packages available to combine experiences which we can’t wait for!

This is a fantastic watersports centre with great facilities and a beautiful spot on Loch Tay. We were really fortunate to enjoy a canoeing experience - helped by Rachel whose customer service could not have been better. After the disappointment of the weather stopping us taking part in river gorging she pulled out all the stops to ensure we could get out onto the water and have a great time. Clear instructions. Excellent safety provisions. Rachel was especially good at explaining to our young children what they should and shouldn’t do out on the water and then giving them tons of encouragement during the outing. A fabulous afternoon and I would highly recommend using IYE to anyone staying in or around the Loch Tay area. One of the highlights of our trip. Thank you Rachel!

Can’t fault them would have no hesitation in recommending.
good trip Lovely people , well co-ordinated with guides who were knowledgable and fun.read moreread less

Morgens kurz angerufen. Es war sofort ein Fahrrad verfügbar. Ich hatte ein normales Mountainbike. Das war technisch in sehr gutem Zustand. Preis-/Leistung ist sehr gut. Und die Mitarbeiter sind super freundlich und haben mir eine echt tolle Tour empfohlen. Definitiv empfehlenswert!

Thank you so much for a great day. Everyone we interacted with was great, from getting on our harnesses and going over safety rules. Special shout out to Sam who guided us through the course, gave us a few laughs and snapped some pictures for us. The views over loch lomond at the last zipline are not to be missed!

Alfie from In Your Element took us on an amazing Summit to Sea adventure (booked as part of my 60th birthday trip to Scotland). 2 long days up Cairn Gorm, down to Loch Avon, wild camping and walking out through the Abernethy Forest formed the hiking element. We then boarded our Canadian canoes and followed the Spey to the sea. Amazing wild campsites hidden in the forest or on river islands, 3 course meals (haggis, neeps and tatties and camp banoffee pie were the highlights for me!), great conversations with the rest of the group, and the occasional swim as we found some inconvenient rocks... All with Alfie's great teaching, encouragement and sense of humour. Thoroughly recommended. Phil & Deborah Horton.

An unforgettable experience! A fabulous adventure. Our host Elliot worked really hard to ensure we were all safe, well fed , and had the best experience possible in the changeable weather conditions. He was available at all times to help with any queries and is very knowledgeable, he was realistic about what to expect and very considerate when I got a bit overwhelmed as I was well out of my comfort zone at times! The equipment provided was of a high standard, and the food Elliot presented us with was delicious and varied , catering for several different dietary requirements, with some luxurious surprises and fresh brewed coffee at breakfast and plenty of snacks. We left no trace and all our waste was removed for recycling, I was amazed how little there was for a big group for a few days! The company was great and we made memories to last a lifetime. I can’t thank Elliot enough for coordinating it all , he has a lovely calm manner and despite some terrible jokes he was really good fun. Five stars!!read moreread less

This excellently equipped rental shop is located just a short walk from the center of Aviemore, right on the cycling trails, so you can just hop on your bike and head straight out onto the perfect routes nearby. A huge advantage is their opening hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which means a full-day rental truly gives you a full day. For comparison, the other rental shop in Aviemore is only open from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM, which is quite short.The staff is very friendly and welcoming; they happily went over the routes with us, fitted our own pedals, and handed over the bike in perfect technical condition. Another big plus is their ample stock and wide selection, including smaller sizes like S and XS. Strongly recommend 👍

We had a brilliant experience with the team at IYE (Aviemore) last weekend whilst completing a charity event with a team from work. Special shout out to Andy and Chris who were absolutely amazing across the 2 day event which included mountain biking on the Burma Road route and a day of canyoning. Highly recommend.

Challenging MND Great Glen Canoe Challenge We had an absolutely incredible Great Glen canoe trip and cannot recommend the experience highly enough. From start to finish, everything was brilliantly organised, professionally delivered, and full of adventure. A very special mention has to go to Lianne, who truly made the trip. Her knowledge, professionalism, calm confidence, and brilliant sense of fun brought the whole experience to life. She created an environment where everyone felt safe, supported, and able to enjoy the challenge, while still keeping the spirit of adventure at the heart of it all. The food was incredible throughout — far better than we ever expected on a canoe expedition — and it made such a difference at the end of each day. What really stood out was the way Lianne supported Alex. She made sure he was always safe and looked after, but also gave him the confidence and encouragement to push right to the edge of his limits. That balance of care, challenge, and belief was exceptional, and it meant so much to us. It was a truly memorable trip, full of great moments, beautiful scenery, laughter, and adventure. We came away feeling challenged, inspired, and incredibly grateful for the experience.read moreread less

Excellent service from the team near Aviemore. They were extremely accommodating to my 86 year old dad who desperately wanted to come on a ride with us all! And did on an electric bike! Thanks for helping us make it happen.

We had a really great experience from start to finish for our canoe trip on the Spey, with a day's coaching at the start.Everything was well organised and ran smoothly, from dropping the kit off through to collection afterwards, which made the whole process very easy.The kit itself was excellent, and the support provided around the coaching day was fantastic. The training day was genuinely enjoyable and really worthwhile for everyone involved.A special mention to Alfie, whose coaching was brilliant. We all appreciated his calm, encouraging approach and the fact that he was always happy to answer questions. He has a huge amount of experience, but what stood out was how approachable and positive he was throughout the day.Everyone in our group commented on how much they enjoyed Alfie's coaching style. His constructive feedback and encouragement helped create a relaxed atmosphere where people felt comfortable learning, developing their skills, and building confidence.Overall, a really positive experience that we would happily recommend.

Three Years of High-Adrenaline Adventure in Scotland We have just returned from our third year with In Your Element (IYE), and once again, they exceeded every expectation. As a group of four men in our 60s looking for a genuine adrenaline fix, we need a team that understands how to balance adventure with safety and expertise. Over the years, IYE has helped us cross Scotland via the Great Glen Canoe Trail and navigate the rapids of the River Spey. Both involving the rigors of wild camping. Our most recent trip was perhaps the most diverse yet: two days of electric mountain biking combined with gorge swimming and river sledging, followed by two days canoeing the River Tay. The schedule suggested by Calum was a masterclass in custom programming; he used his expertise to tailor every activity to our specific needs. On the ground, our instructor Duncan provided world-class guidance and instruction that gave us total confidence in challenging environments. With first-class equipment and superb customer service, I can’t recommend IYE highly enough for anyone wanting to test their limits in the Scottish outdoors.read moreread less

We were there yesterday with 2 teenage grandsons visiting from USA and 2 granddaughters, 11 & 9They all loved it! The younger girls were far better than their older 6’ + cousins🤣Granted, they had done it before at home in England!What a brilliant idea, clambering and sliding through trees and on zip wires!The 2 staff members, Ben and Ewan were excellent, making it a real fun thing to do, even though the 9 year old was a bit nervous, she flew around the course!The young man Ewan had the right temperament for that job, chatty, fun and helpful. Great day out, my grandsons said it was the highlight of their Scottish trip . Definitely recommend it.
