Scotland's west coast wonders
Join us for an unforgettable sea kayaking adventure on Scotland’s breathtaking west coast. These multi-day expeditions combine journeying, coaching, and exploration — giving you the chance to experience remote coastlines, wild camping, and the very best of Scotland’s paddling in safe, expert hands.
Each year we choose a new area to explore, keeping the experience fresh and exciting. Past adventures have taken us through the Summer Isles, Applecross Peninsula, Isle of Skye, and the Fort William area — each offering a unique mix of scenery, wildlife, and conditions to suit the group.
You’ll spend your days paddling through sea lochs, islands, and headlands, developing your skills in real environments while soaking up the wild beauty of the Scottish coast. Evenings are for good food, campfires, and sharing stories under the stars.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need sea kayaking experience?
Yes — you should be comfortable paddling in moderate sea conditions and confident in basic rescues. If you’re unsure, we recommend a Sea Kayak Skills Day first.
Where do you run the expeditions?
We decide the exact location each year based on conditions and logistics. Previous adventures have explored the Summer Isles, Applecross Peninsula, Isle of Skye, and the Fort William area.
Do I need my own equipment?
You’re welcome to bring your own kayak and camping gear, but we can supply core paddling kit if required.
Is accommodation provided?
Accommodation isn’t provided. We’ll typically run two single-day trips and one two-day journey with an overnight wild camp. As the group comes together, we’ll create a WhatsApp chat so you can coordinate shared accommodation or make your own arrangements nearby.
What will I learn?
You’ll develop practical expedition skills including planning, navigation, group awareness, leadership, and sea sense — all in a real adventure setting.

Highlight was a very lucky seal sighting, and the trip was awesome too. Educational and fun - Steve coaches without it feeling like you're being trained. It was my first day sea kayaking and I built on techniques learnt around Beaulieu in the spectacular setting of Old Harry rocks. Looking forward to a summer of practise, less getting stuck on rocks, and longer expeditions!
Really enjoyed our sea kayaking trip. Amy was our coach and she did a great job of teaching and balancing that with enjoying the kayak. I'm glad we had a go at rolling over and getting out at the end of the session.
Absolutely amazing, if you are new to kayaking or need to brush up on your skills I would recommend these activities. Our instructor Leander made us feel safe & comfortable on the water, her teaching skills are second to none. If you are thinking of booking go ahead you will have a wonderful day.
