Our Lochs and Rivers Are Perfect
For Kayaking in Scotland

Outdoor Activities > Kayaking In Scotland



Canoeing and kayaking in Scotland is a hugely popular activity, and there are loads of resources to help get you paddling. Whatever level of challenge you are looking for, you are guaranteed to find it here.

Kayak down river
With our coastline stretching to around 2,300 miles, and given the number of lochs and rivers, it's not surprising that kayaking has become so popular.

White-water Kayaking can be a fabulous adventure, but the knack of getting on the right river in the right water conditions has traditionally only been possible for those with good experience.

Both canoeing and Sea kayaking make fantastic recreational sports and Scotland’s lochs, rivers and waterways are perfect for exploring. The ragged west coastline in particular, with over 100 islands, is the ideal location for island hopping with fabulous kayaking trips and tours.

Scotland has the ideal environment for kayaking & canoeng, whether on the open sea or on secluded rivers and lochs. But it's worth remembering the sea is not a loch and has a character which needs to be understood, so if you are a beginner, an introductory course would be advisable.

In Scotland you will enjoy dramatic views and spot wildlife as you explore the wild coastlines on these superb adventure holidays. And we have special adventure packages that will suit everyone from families to the hard-core whitewater enthusiast. These great tours range from relaxing family floats to high adrenaline pumping whitewater adventure.

Kayaking in Scotland vacations are available from May to October and packages on offer are from 6-11 days. Request your Free Brochure for kayaking in Scotland and destinations worldwide.

Protected sea lochs, huge cliffs and sea stacks, and remarkable history and culture are just some of the treats that you can expect to find on your Scotland kayaking adventure.
