Wow! Wow! That’s how I would like to start this review. From start to finish it is the best adventure I have ever done.Along with my son and 6 other friends we canoed down the Spey river over 4 Days. Dan and Richie looked after us intently watching and guiding us down the rapids and the beautiful setting we found ourselves in. The food they provided along with the campsites they found were stunning and remote.
Thank you both so very much for the great time we had and the fun my son and I had in our own canoe. The company was absolutely superb. I can’t say enough about this ext. Put in on your bucket list… please!

12 months ago we Strarted planning a 4-5 day kayak trip down the river Spey, with Northern Outdoor adventures. Dan "the nan" Smith took 8 novice kayakers down just under 60 mile of THE most beautiful areas we have in the UK. To say this was one of my best trips I've ever done is still an understatement. Yes the weather was stunning, as we all know what our Scottish climate is like, even in September!!.
Dan knowledge of the river and camp site's are exceptional.
You truly wild camp, cooking is ask taken care of by Dan & is able second guide, Ritchie. All over open fire. Sleeping under the stars, is a phrase week used when you read a brochure about an outdoor experience. This YOU really do exactly that !! Given a clear night of course 😆 and we did, EVERY night. Watching shooting stars and satellites tracking the night sky is totally unforgettable. Take a hip flask with your favourite malt, and breath.
On the river, Dan took us through exactly what he wanted us to do and Ritchie would go ahead to show us the line through some "very challenging rapids" . Yes we went upside down, but we were never in any more danger than a bruised ego. You carry everything on your kayak and strap all your gear inside dry bags. Just make sure you do them up properly....note to self rrrrrr.
So, overall. If you get the chance to experience this trip or another one organised through Dan and his team.... DO IT !!
Hats off Mr Smith, 4 days my brother and 6 mates will NEVER forget.
Cheers
Kenny.

Took up the offer of a 5 day canoe trip down the River Spey with my brother and 6 friends. From start to finish the trip was extremely well organised and planned. Lead by the very experienced Dan Smith. We spent the time learning the skills of paddling an open canoe, wild camping/cooking and sleeping under the stars. All in all a fantastic experience and one that was worth the money and effort. A massive thanks to Dan and to our second guide Richy.
Thanks guy’s looking forward to our next adventure already.

I was one of a group of 8 friends that took a 4 day trip along the River Spey in Scotland this September. The trip was absolutely incredible and I cannot recommend Dan highly enough. Dan has a very good knack of balancing professionalism with good fun, humour and approachability. An example of this is having a few jokes, listening to music, etc along the easier parts of the route but when the time comes to knuckle down on the rapids then you are clear it is time to work and work hard! These are the exact attributes you’d want in a guide. There is no elitism from Dan, no “them and us” approach and he enjoys passing on his skill set and teaching others to the best of his ability. Honestly, if a trip could be bottled this would be it. We were blessed by the weather admittedly which does make a difference but every second of this trip was simply magical. Dan also does an excellent job of the cooking which is no easy feat when you are limited by space, storage and freshness issues. He provides dry bags, bivvy bags and tarps if required as well as all the canoes, paddles and safety equipment. The campsites we had particularly on nights 2 and 3 were brilliant. Every member of the trip commented on what a superb experience it was and we’ve made memories to last a lifetime. If you are in any doubt, just book it. I guarantee you’ll not regret it. If I could award this more than 5 stars then I would. Cheers Dan. 🤙🏻

Had a brilliant afternoon canoeing on the River Tweed with Northern Outdoor. Family of 4, we all had a great time. Despite the tough weather of wind and rain, we made the best of it and paddled 5 miles, always feeling safe and confident with Dan. Highly recommend Northern Outdoor, will definitely use them again for more expeditions!

Dan, Caroline Smith and the NBC Team deliver up a fantastic experience over 7 days. It will push, reward and teach you a great deal. From fun assault courses to intensive exercise, strengthening with weights to static rowing, abseiling to body boarding. Excellent menus with thorough nutrition guidance and support. If you want a fully inclusive experience both in cost and culture look no further.

Of all the weekends to choose for this trip it ended up being the wettest one of the summer so far, that did not however put a damper on the weekend, within the first hour of canoeing we had a deer swim across the river in front of us, we pretty much had the whole river to ourselves. When we turned off the main river to the smaller river down the side the island we were setting up camp on it felt like being in the mangroves... an amazing experience ... and highly recommended!!

I undertook the White Water Tubing activity with this company together with my son and his girlfriend , who are both in their late teens. They are far more used to these types of adventures than I am but we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The setting was stunning, being Low Force near Middleton in Teesdale. We starting of sliding down small waterfalls just in our wetsuits and helmets then progressed to a longer course in large rings. The activity culminated in us jumping off a 12 ft ledge at the top of a waterfall. The last bit was optional. The instructors were really friendly, very health and safety aware, but not at the expense of having fun.
