We’ll ease you in with some splashing about on Applecross bay covering all the basics on day one, including a short coastal trip, before we take you on an unforgettable expedition.
Wildlife is ever present on the coastal fringes and local Islands allowing us a chance to see Puffins, Whales, seasonal Dolphins, and the ever present Porpoises.
