Pre-Trip Service

Appreciated the chance to communicate personally, and pass on information re diet, and other things to guide.

Trip Comments

Sitting quietly in the kayak off the east coast of Scalpay, looking across the Minch to Skye, blue in the mists but lit by a faint orange glow beneath, as the swell gently rose and fell, Scalpay lighthouse peering over our shoulder, was a magical experience.

Accommodation & Food

Well chosen, particularly as one had to be changed at the last-minute. Food lovely at both, sleeping arrangements reasonable. However, various issues with bathrooms in both venues would be worth attending to.

Your Guide

We were very privileged to have Paul and Crayston as guides. Their teamwork was super smooth, they seemed never to tire, and were unfailingly good humoured. They were sell organised, but relaxed enough that it was transparent. Paul not only had great local knowledge, but also wide knowledge on a variety of subjects, particularly history, and most of all, a vast depth of experience in guiding whether kayaking, cycling, or walking. Crayston's paddling skills were a great model, and his thoughtfulness was quietly evident as we enjoyed a warm drink on a chilly beach, no matter what the conditions, and both were able to almost invisibly direct the group. Together, they planned excellent adventures, carefully crafted to suit the forecast conditions, and the group's diversity. We were the fortunate beneficiaries of teamwork and guiding of the highest calibre. Thank you, Paul and Crayston

The Bottom Line

A unique and opportunity to experience and better understand the remoteness and beauty of the Outer Hebrides from the water.

The Outer Hebrides is a beautiful part of Scotland and it is wonderful to visit it by sea kayak. Wilderness Scotland do a tremendous job. This is my 3rd trip with the company and I cannot recommend them enough.

Pre-Trip Service

The pre-trip information was very clear and any questions promptly answered. The kit and equipment information was really useful.

Trip Comments

My wife and I joined the Atlantic Coast trip with Myles and David as our guides. Although I had some experience of kayaking in the past I was a little apprehensive about paddling on the sea. However, as soon as we arrived I knew we were in safe and very well experienced hands. This gave us the confidence to tackle conditions we'd never attempt on our own. It was an incredible privilege to be able to paddle in such stunning scenery and encounter wildlife in a way that was only possible on the water. It was made even better by Myles' and David's encyclopedic knowledge of natural history, geology and history which really brought the landscape alive. I found myself looking forward to the evening talks as much as the kayaking! My particular highlight was sea kayaking through the Arisaig Skerries, which must be one of the most beautiful places in the world - I'll never forget paddling past bobbing seals and drinking nettle tea on beaches that wouldn't look out of place in the Bahamas. Just beautiful. We will definitely be back.

Accommodation & Food

We stayed in a guest house and pub - both were superb.

Your Guide

As mentioned before we had Myles and David as our guides who were superb! We've come home with so much more than memories of kayaking. We learnt about Scottish myths and legends, traditional music, SOE operations during the war, the Harry Potter train, viaduct construction, the many uses of nettles, the difference between White-Tailed and Golden Eagles, how different lichens can reveal changing sea levels - the list just goes on! Both Myles and David have a lifetime's knowledge of the Highlands and it was such a privilege to hear their fascinating stories.

The Bottom Line

I can't recommend Wilderness Scotland highly enough. Whether you are an experienced kayaker or a novice, the Atlantic Coast trip is everything you could wish for - wildlife, stunning scenery, fanastic food and accommodation, a wide mix of paddling experiences - and all held together by guides that make you feel 100% safe and enthuse you with their passion for the Highlands.
