Sublime paddling in the highlands.

This really was a unique experience. We were immersed in the flora and fauna of the highlands, with the wild camping really making it feel like a wilderness experience. Both the mountains and the sea were teeming with wildlife and the journeys we took were breathtaking. The guides were fantastic.

West Coast of Scotland sea kayaking

An incredible experience - a small group with two experienced guides, paddling in calm waters under blue skies with seals, porpoises and sea otters.

West Coast Explorer - Sea Kayaking trip

6 days exploring the west coast around Kintail, Soay, Skye and Loch Duich. Glorious weather, expert leaders and while the bunkhouse was typical of this type of accommodation, the wild camping was worth the midges and ticks just for the breathtaking scenery. The food was very good indeed. Good quality and plenty of it!!

River Spey Descent

We had a wonderful time seeing Scotland by canoe. This was hugely due to the amiable and highly skilled guide - Richard Biscuit Turner. We would recommend this trip and will do so to friends & colleagues.
