Canoeing

Canoeing through the Scottish Highlands, along a stunning river or crossing a secluded loch with breathtaking views is one of the best ways to truly explore the Scottish Highlands and the NC500. We run a canoeing trips throughout the the Scottish Highlands and the NC500 with a range of trips at a range of venues and can be either a half day or full day trip.

For us, canoe trips are about more than just canoeing. During our trip we will explore the Highlands of Scotland, discover areas that are just off from the NC500 and you can only reach by canoe and hopefully see some of the amazing Scottish wildlife.

Where do we start and meet

We run our canoeing trips all around the Scottish Highlands and the NC500. Our trips go as far north on east coast Bora and all the way up the west coast as far as the Ullapool area. All our trips are bespoke and private so we build your canoeing day round you. As such we do not have a set place we run our trips. What we like to is find out where you are staying in the Scottish Highlands and meet you at a location that is convenient to you. We know the Highlands of Scotland really well so we are happy to make a suggestion.
