Hebridean Explorer

Join us for a five-day sea kayaking expedition where we explore the stunning seascapes of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Designed for improving and intermediate paddlers, this course combines technical coaching with daily expeditions to some of the most remote, beautiful, and rewarding coastal environments in the UK.

Based on North Uist, this expedition-style course takes you on a new paddling adventure each day. Expect a mix of exposed Atlantic coastlines, remote islands, sheltered and intricate sea lochs, tidal flows – all under the guidance of experienced, qualified sea kayaking instructors.

You’ll consolidate existing skills and push your paddling comfort zone in a supportive, small-group environment. Each day presents new water conditions and learning opportunities – whether it’s navigating swell, landing on remote beaches, or reading tide flows.
