Sea Kayaking Introduction Course Traveller Reviews

4 nights sea kayaking based in an upmarket bunkhouse in NW Scotland despite the weather we had a really good introduction to the sport, giving me confidence to have another go should the occasion arise in future

my third trip with this company - they again exceeded my expectations

Wonderful sea kayaking in glorious locations along the North West coast of Scotland

Excellent communication and trip organisation

Introduction to sea-kayaking in North-West Scoland.

Wilderness Scotland -- good at making potentially challenging holidays in Scotland very benign.

Great way to learn sea kayaking, in a small group in a beautiful setting.

Well organised holiday that matched the description.

We spent five days based in a bunk house on Loch Torridon and kayaked for three days fairly near the bunk house, one day from Plockton and one day in Loch Marie. The scenery was unbelievably beautiful and the weather lovely apart from the final day. We had two helpful and efficient guides, who were very patient and approachable. It was a very well organised trip and one that I would happily recommend.

Wilderness Scotland provided an excellent service, from good information, care throughout the trip and provided us with a photographic record of the trip.

My first ever activities holiday and it was great. The group was one great family and the guides personable, helpful and knowledgeable. Wilderness Scotland guides were extra helpful and patient in explaining things to me through demonstration and simple English (as I don't speak much English). The locations were varied and beautiful and I discovered that you can have as much fun in the rain as under the sun. I'm from Egypt and people there usually stay at home when it rains and so the idea of being out on a lake or by the sea when it rains, paddling a kayak seemed crazy at first. I really loved the trip and would like to do another one!

We had all the information we needed and Wilderness Scotland made sure there was someone we could contact for more information when we needed it. Everyone was very friendly, professional and helpful. Thanks!

The trip exceeded my expectations. Firstly, our guides, Zoe and Malcolm, were friendly and approachable. The weather was changeable but we always had a stunning location set at the right challenge level for our sea kayaking trips. Getting to know the others on the trip and working together to get the kayaks to the water and then out again and back on the kayak trailer was an unexpected bonus. Another highlight was dining in the evening in small local restaurants, including a highland lodge and an isolated restaurant run by a charming Dutch chef. I enjoyed the kayaking to the full and maintained my confidence despite capsizing in the cold loch waters, thanks to the expertise and encouragement of Zoe, our head guide. Overall, we experienced, stunning scenery and a really enjoyable trip with challenge, fun and time to unwind and enjoy local culinary pleasures.

I booked online and some tour operators turn out faceless and the experience then depends on the guide. With Wilderness Scotland, as soon as our booking was made we received a personalised email confirming things and soon after we received a detailed information pack to help us better prepare for the trip. We always had someone (with a name) to email or call if need be. I did in fact have to call and the agent who answered was both friendly and helpful. The personal but sincere touch provided each step of the way was most appreciated. Another plus is the Wilderness Scotland website provided great detail about the trip and supplementary videos on youtube to get a feel for what a trip can be like in different weather.

A week learning to handle a sea kayak on the Lochs and coastline of North West Scotland. Met with a great group of people who all made the trip even better and added to the great memories I have of this trip. Accommodated in a remote bunkhouse on the shore of Loch Torridon, and with superb guides to ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible and the experience was one to remember with achievement and fondness.

Great communication from initial contact,keeping us informed of all we needed to know prior to attending our trip such as area information, what kit will be needed and recommended and where to meet our guides on the first day.

Awesome Kayaking Trip. Great group of people. Great Guides very informative, Fantastic scenery wildlife. Torridon and Applecross fantastic areas for Kayaking. Lunches on the beach were fantastic and that very welcoming cup of tea at lunchtime and our afternoon treat of jelly babies at sea!!! Quality and Quantity of food supplied was excellent and having the meals in various restaurants were great. My advice if you have never been before kayaking before then book!!! Even if you have it is still a great trip to be on or book one of the other trips!!

From handling the initial enquiry through to the end product they delivered what I was expecting. Kept you up to date and regular intervals. As a repeat customer it is what I was expecting and they delivered again. I am considering booking for 2016 but will probably do that later this year

amazing experience , great instructors would come back again and highly recommend.

great , amazing , unforgettable
