Be shown the secret coves and beaches only known by our local instructors, whilst picking up sea kayaking skills from our experienced guides. 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. This is a great beginner / improver introduction to sea kayak expeditioning with time to train & learn properly, whilst experiencing nature at its finest. 2019 planned dates (please message us before booking): April 29 - May 3 May 13 - 17 May 27 - 31 June 10 - 14 June 17- 21 July 8 - 12 July 22 - 26 Aug 5 - 9 Aug 19 - 23 Sep 23 - 27 Oct 21 - 25

Day 1
