The Atlantic Coast

On this accommodation-based sea kayaking trip, we will stay in two different locations. For the first 2 nights, we will be based in a small guesthouse near Loch Sunart. For the next 3 nights, we are based in a traditional Highland inn which is located at the head of the beautiful Loch Ailort. Accommodation is in twin or double rooms with en-suite bathroom facilities.

Single Rooms

There is no supplement charged to solo travellers, however, you will be required to share a room with another person of the same sex. If you request a double room for single occupancy, a supplement of £365 is charged.

Due to the nature of the accommodations we use, single supplements are limited and are allocated on a first come first served basis.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included throughout the trip. Included dinners are two courses as standard.

Blue Graded 4-6

Our blue graded sea kayaking trips are suitable for fit paddlers with a minimum of 5 full days of sea kayaking experience and a basic level of technical competence. You can expect 6/7 hours of sea kayaking each day, with plenty of breaks onshore to stretch your legs. You will also be asked to assist with carrying the boats to and from the water, working as a team.

The kayaking will be in coastal waters with few open crossings, but you can expect to be paddling in some choppier conditions during the trip. This may be in winds of Force 3 (up to 18km/h). On the higher Blue grade trips, you may be paddling in more exposed areas and encounter stronger winds up to Force 4 (up to 30km/h) and breaking waves.

If you are unsure about your experience or about Sea States, please give us a call or email to discuss. If you do not yet have enough experience we suggest our Green graded sea kayaking trips.

If bad weather prevents us from kayaking, your guide will offer an alternative activity, such as a hike.

You will be met by your Wilderness Scotland Guide at Aviemore Train Station at 10:00am. You will be returned to Aviemore Station for 4:00pm on the final day of the trip.

A pick-up in Fort William at 12:15pm on day 1 and a drop-off on the final day at around 2:30pm, is available on request, please let us know if you’d like to meet there.
