Sea Kayaking in Scotland, Canada, Croatia, Arctic Norway

Imagine kayaking along untouched Scottish coastlines, camping on remote Arctic Islands and beaches and being right there amidst the wildlife of Canada.

New for 2012: Multi activity weeks for friends, families, groups or individuals.

All of our trip descriptions on this page will hopefully give you a flavour of what is surely the most unique wilderness activity in Scotland allowing you to paddle away from it all and get closer to wildlife in a quiet, peaceful gliding kayak.

Read Alison Dun's article of the Inner Sound Kayak trip she was on for a full account from a beginners point of view.

Much of what we do is aimed at beginners or entry level paddlers kayaking on our expeditions in the most sheltered area of the North West coast of Scotland. For those of you with a little more paddle experience there are also some longer, more challenging expeditions to join. We also head overseas to paddle in Croatia, Canada and Arctic Norway.

 

 

 

Some info about our trips

Our Trips are designed on the whole for beginner and intermediate paddlers and are progressive so as to allow you to develop your kayak experience with us starting with taster half days, weeked intros and beginner expedition courses leading on to intermediate Scottish and overseas expeditions.

Trips are priced as follows:

‘Course Only’: you look after your own food and accommodation except on overnight camps where we feed you as part of you trip price.

‘Full Board’: just turn up and we’ll look after you entirely. Enjoy local, homemade, fresh food and the comforts of the guest house where you can discuss the day in front of the fire!

All trip prices include your instructor/guide, equipment and local transport.

Mountain and Sea Guides ensures that all trips have no negative impact on the local environment. As well as learning to kayak we pride ourselves on providing sustainable tourism so we can maintain the beauty of the highlands.
