Arisaig: Meet the seals

About the trip

If you want to feel like you’re paddling in the Caribbean, look no further. This trip explores remote skerries with white sandy beaches & crystal clear waters – with the Scottish bonus of overlooking mountains and distant islands. The bay is diverse in wildlife, so be prepared to share the water with seals and other marine life. This place is amazing!

Meeting in Arisaig, the trip starts by getting comfortable controlling our crafts and getting a feel for the water. We will give full instruction for those that are beginners and tips for seasoned paddlers. We recognise that everyone has different water confidence and paddling ability, so we will make sure to go at a pace that is right for YOU. Once you and your group are ‘up and running’, we will start our journey along the coast and across to the skerries (islands).

The skerries are a truly magical environment which continuously change with the tide. When the tide is high there are many outcrops with large water channels between. As the tide recedes, the area is transformed revealing beautiful white sandy beaches which provide the perfect resting spots for you and a variety of marine creatures.

Trips run from 10:00 – 16:00, allowing plenty of time to explore the coastlines, watch the wildlife and relax on pristine beaches. All our trips are private, therefore exclusive to you and your party, which allow for the following:

• Trip timings can be altered to suit your needs.
• You dictate the pace and how much time is spent paddling the coastlines vs relaxing on the beaches and islands.
• Locations of the trip can be altered if the forecasted conditions are looking more favourable on a different stretch of coastline that day.

Tell us what you want on your booking form, or call in advance to discuss and we will tailor the trip to suit you. We will provide advice on what to wear and details about exact meeting spots within your emailed booking confirmation.
