Sea Kayaking and Snorkelling

Sea kayak half day - £55 per person
Single supplement of £45 applies
We choose our locations based on wind and swell direction on the day, so cannot promise in advance that we will paddle in any given location. At all our locations you will experience beautiful scenery and a feeling of remoteness. Wildlife is ever-present and the water is clear and full of life.
Sea Kayak full day - £80 per person
Single supplement of £60 applies
Is this for you?? A full day is not recommended for complete beginners unless you are fit and flexible. Sea kayaking is strenuous and some people find the posture tiring. Beginners will be given some basic coaching in a very sheltered location before embarking on a short journey with rest stops.

More experienced kayakers are likely to be exposed to choppier conditions and a longer journey, although there will still be rest stops and opportunities to beach and stretch the legs.

This experience is designed to teach young people how to look after themselves in nature safely, without harming the environment they are so keen to enjoy. As part of the experience they will build small camp fires for cooking, and learn about different habitats and the wild life of Harris and Lewis. All kit can be provided, but waterproofs and wellies or walking boots are recommended. Group size can be up to 12. Suitable for ages 10-16
Group Half Day Hill Walk (Max 6) - £120
There must be adults participating within this group who are prepared to take responsibility for the under 18s.

They offer many of the thrills of a 'real' mountain, such as amazing views, eagles and easy scrambling, without the physical commitment of a big day in the hills. Groups will need to wear waterproof walking boots and bring a small rucksack containing snacks, spare layers, hats, gloves and water and waterproof jacket and trousers.
