Duckies are best described as a cross between a white water raft & a kayak.ÃÂ The actual ducky is a bit like a fat inflatable kayak which usually carries two people. They are fairly sturdy little beasts & are often used on the same stretches of water as used for white water rafting.ÃÂ To keep you safe & in control, an experienced white water kayaking instructor will provide safety & guidance alongside you. These inflatable crafts are easily maneuvered around the water, enabling you to hit all the rapids on your way down the River Tay.ÃÂ If you are after an adrenalin rush, it is often better to do it after heavy rain when the rivers can get extremely hairy. During the summer months, the Duckies are often used on dam releases to ensure that you get the maximum thrill.
