David, Tracy, Aidan, Rory and Fergus spent the morning paddling with me from Gairloch harbour. We had a good time in both canoes and kayaks – learning skills, playing games and exploring the rugged coastline.

Anna, Miles, Alice, Sam, Joe and Rachel joined me for a breezy afternoon paddling around in a variety of different boats to suit everyone. We found some shelter from the wind and had a good session.

Alex, Melissa, Max and Eli had a fun morning in sea kayaks paddling along the shore and out to Boor rocks

Fiona, Lachlann, Hope, Lynne, Sofia and Erin had fun in the afternoon splashing about on loch Maree. They’re all locals and have already booked their next adventure with me!

Adam, Helena, Elliot and Isaac spent the morning with me at Tollie bay, loch Maree. We had a great time learning to paddle the kayaks, playing games and exploring the area.

Susan lives locally and is keen to get her own boat so she decided to book a session with me to see what it’s like and learn some skills. Aga came along too and is keen to do more. The wintery feel to the day made the brew break even more important to warm up!

An evening session for Rachel, Georgina, Juliet and Christopher. We had fantastic light to paddle in with seals to watch when we weren’t spotting jellyfish around us!

A busy day with this group! Rupal, Ojas, Aarzv, Aarnshi, Amiti, Hasdik, Ishani, Shemin, Niraj, Pooja, Preksha and Shubh all had fun on the water with me. Half in the morning and half in the afternoon. They live in Manchester/Canada/India and are spending their holiday together exploring the north of Scotland. What better way to see the Scottish coastline than from the water!

Molly and Reid enjoyed their paddle on Loch Ewe, spotting beautiful jellyfish as we had fun paddling across the waves. A little different to their home in New York!

Joe and Maxime spent some time enjoying paddling around the rugged coastline at Poolewe and spotting seals swim around us.

Tom, Isla, Grace and Sophie enjoyed exploring the rocky passageways and caves along the coastline.

Nick, Cynthia, Demi and Xavier spent a morning having fun on the water and exploring some of the rocky coastline at Mellon Charles.

James, Carrie, Freya and Thomas joined me for an afternoon splashing about on Loch Ewe. We had a slight bit of rain but we hardly noticed as we had fun paddling about!

Linda, Harry, George, David and Lesley had a nice afternoon paddling from Poolewe and around the rugged shore of Inverewe Garden. It’s a different view of Inverewe that most folk don’t get to see.

Karen and Ian spent the afternoon exploring the loch and watching the wildlife. Ian’s keen to get a boat so we spent plenty of time chatting about boats kit and safety.

Amanda, Ed, Archie and Marsaili joined me again for another session on the water. They’re looking at getting some boats so they wanted to practice rescue skills so that they can keep safe – I wasn’t just being lazy making them rescue themselves!

Alan, Cora and Aidan have been out with me a few times before and their fleet of boats is increasing. Alan has been visiting the area since he was young and has always looked across to Gruinard Island, it’s dark past makes it a tempting place to go. The island has a fantastic west coast to explores with caves, arches and wildlife. To finish the day a sea eagle flew over us.

Gabi, Mark, Sofia, Francesca and Henry enjoyed an exciting afternoon on the water. Henry and Francesca joined me in my canoe as my crew – it’s great having a crew to do all the paddling!
