Ultimately, the decision about where to go will be yours depending on your level of competence, experience and objectives, however, here are a few ideas for you to consider:

Sea kayakingThe route from Fort William in the west to Inverness in the east is known as the Great Glen. A series of canals, rivers and lochs allow a kayaker to paddle some 60 miles through stunning highland scenery. It generally takes between 3 and 5 days to cover the whole route depending on the size of the group, weather, fitness levels and experience. It also depends on how much you want to enjoy the surroundings and Highland hospitality as you go, or to race to the finish.

 

If you don’t feel you have the experience or time to organise your own trip, why not join one of our guided Great Glen expeditions.

Fort George and Chanonry Point

A fine short trip for an evening kayaking after work or a half day paddle. Chanonry Point is known to many locals as the place to visit if you want a good chance of seeing the resident dolphins. Fort George is an impressive fortification that is still used by the military.

West Coast of Scotland

The West Coast of Scotland is a mecca for sea kayakers from all over the world, with a stunning coastline, back drops of wild islands and towering mountains, an abundance of wild life, fjord-like sea lochs and the occasional bit of sunshine!  It really is a beautiful place to plan a sea kayak adventure.
