Gairloch Canoe and Kayak Centre

Our guide was just full of wisdom and jokes to share and made this already lovely experience even better.

Went here last summer (only now just got round to writing review lol) and we had an excellent time. Beautiful location, nearby scenery is unreal and an old manor/hotel thing with a wee bar in it and nice grounds. Kayaking itself was a blast, good length, nice and very enthusiastic guides. We learned lot about the local area and you kayak round different islands and bays. If youre looking to kayak on the north west coast, Id very much recommend this place!

(Translated by Google) Super pleasant guide Fraser who adjusts his pace to the group. Provides regular explanations and provides pleasant chats in a magnificent environment. Highly recommended, also with teenagers. Takes some photos for you along the way so you don't necessarily have to take your mobile phone with you on the water. The single kayak is less advisable for people over 1.90 m (I am 1.93 m myself and was completely stuck with my legs; bending the knees was not possible); then I rather recommend a two-person canoe. Seals, sparrow hawk, heron, various seagulls, cormorants, etc. spotted! Guide also occasionally takes time for a break and for an atypical route. (Original) Super aangename gids Fraser die zijn tempo aanpast aan de groep. Geeft regelmatig uitleg en zorgt voor aangename babbels in een magnifieke omgeving. Ten zeerste aan te raden, ook met tieners. Neemt zelf voor jou enkele foto's onderweg zodat je niet noodzakelijkerwijs je gsm moet meenemen op het water. De eenpersoons kayak is minder aan te raden voor personen van meer dan 1,90m (ben zelf 1,93m en zat volledig vast met mijn benen ; knien plooien was niet mogelijk) ; dan raad ik eerder een tweepersoons kano aan. Zeehonden, sperwer, reiger, diverse zeemeeuwen, aalscholvers enz. gespot! Gids neemt ook af en toe tijd voor een pauze en voor een a-typisch traject.

An excellent afternoon sea kayaking in Loch Shieldaig. Saw many grey seals, some of whom came right up close to check us out, and quite a lot of bird life. Gareth was a friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, very patient with those of us who were beginners. He even had us sampling the seaweed (quite tasty). It was a calm day, which helped us get the hang of the kayaking pretty well. Highly recommended.
