Introduction to Sea Kayaking
In the beautiful sheltered waters on the east and north of Seil we will introduce you to Sea Kayaking. Starting with the basic skills in the morning, followed by lunch on a small island we could end
the day with a gentle paddle towards the Atlantic Bridge, and wind and tide permitting take in a drink at the famous Tigh na Truish Inn. On previous trips our clients have encountered seals, feral
goats, otters, heron, buzzard, sea eagle, roe deer and dolphins. This truly is the perfect introduction to Sea Kayaking.
Around the Isle of Seil
This trip is more exposed taking in the west and south coasts, you will experience open water paddling and tide races - under the supervision of our experienced instructor. With breaks for lunch and
to explore, this is an excellent course for those wanting longer days on the water.
