A great intro to sea kayaking with a teaching session on shore prior to heading out into the shallow waters of Lochcarron for a short journey along the loch shore at the head of the Loch. Lochcarron is in an amphitheatre of mountains and is one of the great fjordlike sea lochs of Scotland. Min age 5. Suitable for all beginners.
Does everything the 2 hour session does but allows more time to head up the loch and a chance to explore the many coves, islands and beaches around Lochcarron or the Kishorn islands. Opportunities to get close to seals and other wildlife is common as we aim to explore Lochcarron and the islands of Sgeir Chreagach, its seal colony and Sgeir Fhada. Min age 8. Suitable for all beginners.
Whether new to sea kayaking, or have done a bit before, then this day allows an intro session in the morning prior to our mini expedition starting before, or after, lunch. If you've done some sea kayaking previously then we'll kit up and get going to explore the local coast or Islands. Plans are varied and from Lochcarron we can get offshore to the Kishorn Islands, or explore Loch Torridon, on a more flexible itinerary. Min age 8. Suitable for beginners or those with some previous kayak experience.
Sessions run in all weathers and it's the best activity when it's raining as it makes no difference and we see more wildlife on the grey days! After all, who'd want to be on a bike or up a hill in the rain! If it's windy we'll load one of our two trailers and go somewhere sheltered. Sessions are all 'open' which means that you will be joining others on your trip - private sessions are available - see below and drop us an email.
Kayak session durations do not represent the actual time in a kayak - there's much more to the activity - times are the average time that a session takes from meeting, acquiring equipment, instruction period, getting to, and onto the sea, finishing up and returning & rinsing equipment.
We are surrounded by some of the most iconic peaks in Scotland. You can join single days on a hillwalking or technical graded scramble/climbing trip to a Munro summit in Torridon, Kintail or the Isle of Skye Cuillin. As a half day option try small crag rock climbing and abseiling as an exciting adventure during your stay.
The rates above are for open sessions where you will be booked alongside other people.
The cost for private arrangements varies according to the instructor to client ratio. Simply email us for a price for your group size.
