Skye Discovery – 5 Days Sea Kayaking in Skye

The 5 day sea kayaking Skye trip is an adventurous sea kayaking journey we offer. This tour is for paddlers with a little experience, who like to explore far flung areas in Scotland. The tour will take you along the scenic coastline of Skye. On all sea kayaking tours you will be able to explore some of the most remote areas in the country. We also provide you with more and better quality kit than everyone else out there. The wildlife around the Isle of Skye is arguably the most astonishing in Europe. The island is fairly sheltered, as a result you may spot porpoises, dolphins, otters, sea eagles or even pine martens. Because of the sheltered locations you should also see an abundance of harbour seals in the area. Furthermore the Isle of Skye has some of the most beautiful coastlines and sea cliffs in Scotland.

Sea Kayaking Skye

There are generally 3 different tours around Skye we offer. One is taking the group from Kyleakin up the mainland coast to Applecross, then across to the north of Raasay and then along the east coast of Skye back to Kyleakin. The other tour would start at Elgol. The group will then explore the area of Loch Scavaig and then paddle to Sleat, up the coast to Kylerea and then to Kyleakin. The third option is a tour in the north, starting in Portree and paddling around Trotternish. The choice of the tour depends on the weather and experience of the group.

The food we provide is mostly fresh, because we like to make sure that every aspect of the sea kayaking tour is enjoyable. With a good weather forecast we also offer a barbecue. Every morning we make freshly made cappuccino or loose leaf tea. We can also make egg rolls or you can have a more simple breakfast, if you choose so. There is still plenty to see on the final day and the scenery might change on the way. The sea kayaking Skye trip should be finished my mid afternoon.

Camping

On our 5-day sea kayaking journey, we will always go wild camping somewhere along the coast in or near the Isle of Skye. On request, we may try to aim for a camping site at one day.
