Sea Kayaking

Sea kayaking in the Scottish Highlands along the NC500 is possibly one of the best ways to explore this amazing place. The Scottish Highlands is a paddlers mecca and with its secluded coves, stunning shorelines and wee seaside villages it is not hard to see why. After many years of paddling these amazing waters we have a wealth of experience and knowledge of the coastline, so whether you are looking for a serene trip on the East coast or to explore the iconic West coast we can help you create your ideal trip.

Where do we start and meet

We run our sea kayaking trips all around the Scottish Highlands and the NC500. Typical areas we cover are from Cromarty and Portmahomack on the east coast to Loch Carron, Gairloch and up and around Ullapool. We build our sea kayaking days round you, so 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 really well so we are happy to make a suggestion.
