Sea Kayaking Introduction Course Traveller Reviews

Fabulous guides, amazing scenery and although the weather wasn’t ideal - we covered a lot! I’d definitely book again. What a gem - very glad to have found it.

Good communication, good Ops team in the background and capable experienced guides

Sea kayaking beginners course - it was simply amazing, wish I had done it years ago.

Fantastic

Beautiful scenery, ideal paddling conditions, comfortable accommodation, good kayaks and PPE, vegan options, the highlight of 5 porpoises swimming close by, interesting sites visited on land, a good group, well paced learning and development and, most important of all, outstanding leaders - hard working, enthusiastic, passionate, humble, supportive and committed to ensuring the group had the best possible holiday they could.

The holiday was everything I had wished for and I can't fault the organisation and planning that had gone into it. I do not hesitate to recommend that anyone interested in sea kayaking experiences a holiday organised by Wilderness Scotland. I will be returning.

A five day introduction to sea kayaking around Loch Torridon in the Scottish Highlands, paddling up to 15-ish km a day. The guides were excellent, I can't believe how much I learned over the course of the holiday. They were patient, encouraging and professional and it's one of the best holidays I've had for a very long time.

Wilderness Scotland kept me informed all the way from booking to the holiday itself. They responded quickly to an email query I had (about whether to bring my wetsuit or not) and emails were useful and clear.

We had a wonderful time with Wilderness Scotland. Excellent organisation and brilliant guide/instructors. Really well looked after from enquiry to final goodbyes.

Ten out of ten. I would award more if I could. Everything organised, planned and nothing was too much trouble. Would go with them for every holiday for the rest of my life if I could!

A beginners kayaking trip around some of the most beautiful parts of the West Highland coastline. The accomodation was clean and comfortable in a National Trust bunkhouse, with a small group of people and two excellent guides who went above and beyond to make sure we were safe, looked after, instructed and made the holiday a lot of fun. Loved every minute.

Wilderness Scotland provided an excellent itinerary which was organised from start to finish with quality customer service and attention to detail making our trip extremely enjoyable beyond expectation.

Kayaking in the Scottish sea lochs gives a completely different view of some otherwise inaccessible parts of the coast enabling you to see nature close up - seals, porpoises, otters and sea eagles often seen very close. The guides were so knowledgeable and expert that absolute beginners quickly developed the skills and confidence to make the most of the trip.

Faultless. Everything was so well organised from first contact onwards.

I really struggled during covid, feeling very lost and uncertain of the future. Returning back to nature with two very talented sea kayaking guides (Craig and Tim w/ Wilderness Scotland) helped return myself to me. I will forever be grateful for this mindful and naturalistic experience.

Great communication and organization, all provided here was top notch and clean.

It was brilliantly led; a busy few days learning and practising many skills. Every day was a new experience. The guides were excellent; professional patient, knowledgable and great company.

Wilderness Scotland clearly deliver a high standard of trip; every aspect especially in this challenging year, was planned carefully. Pre-trip communication was also great, with questions dealt with personally, promptly and helpfully. I can't fault them.

It was a great holiday that exceeded my expectations, and I will certainly continue with sea kayaking and seeking to experience more with Wilderness Scotland for me and my family.

Wilderness Scotland have got all the components of this trip right and I could not have asked for more.
