Reeks Kayak, Shieldaig
Chris and Emma arrived for a fun morning on the water. Most of the time the seals are inquisitive and like to watch us as we paddle around, sometimes they decide to investigate further, coming right up to the boats!

This large group with Gordon, Anna, Bart, Stuart, Michael, Rory, Jonathan, Emily and Millie spent the afternoon exploring the coastline and having fun. For some reason the youngsters were all keen to get wet, so the session ended with a lot of falling and jumping in!
Andrea, Pascal, Dorian and Jessica met me this morning to explore the area from the water in sea kayaks. Being out in a tiny boat enables you to see the area from a totally different perspective. It’s quite different scenery from the Swiss landscape they’re used to!
Daniel, Isabella, Justin and Ash spent the day exploring on the water and on the islands with me. Daniel demonstrated hydrostepping – the art of walking on the water. It’s a skill I’ve not quite mastered yet, so shall stick to using a boat.
Elaine, Hannah, Lorne and Finlay joined me on a slightly damp morning whilst the rest of the family watched golf. It might be wet but I know which option I’d rather do! Finlay had to put up with me in his boat as we canoed around.
Millie, Flora, Iona, Annabel, Eilidh, Eilish, Kirsty and Jade met me for some fun on the water. I knew as soon as I saw them in the car park that it was going to be a lively session!
Kenny, Lisa, Rebecca and Rachael spent the morning splashing about from Gairloch Harbour. The sun might not have been shining but the smiles on everyone’s faces were as we played zipped about on the water.
Jason, Jennifer and Samuel met me for a fun afternoon paddling from near the Shieldaig Lodge Hotel. We had a good session exploring the craggy coastline and watching the seals watch us.
It seems like I’m having a run of repeat customers – Kathleen, Neil, Duncan and Calum didn’t break the run. Last time they were out on the water with me was a few years ago so I hoped they’d forgotten my normal jokes!
David and Frances have paddled with me a few times before but Clare had always found other things to do when we went out. She joined us in the front of my boat this time. Frances normally paddles her own boat but after trying out one of my sea kayaks I think she might be keen to use them in the future!
Sue, Tony and Maddie joined me again for another paddling session. Since I last had them out paddling they’ve really got into kayaking a lot, buying boats and learning more skills. Sadly Maddie recently injured herself so she was stuck in the front of my boat rather than whizzing around by herself.
Sally and Harry met me for session on the water, we had a nice low tide so were able to spot plenty of creatures under the water.
Morven, Gavin, Angus, Ailsa and Isla joined me for their third trip with me today, this time paddling from near the Shieldaig Lodge Hotel. As always it’s great to see customers come back again and again.
Shona, Alistair, Alice and Peter joined me again for another fun filled session on the water. We’d paddled at Shieldaig last year too, but it’s such a great place there’s plenty to see including lots of seals.
Sisters Suzanne and Rosalind explored the rocky coastline on sit on top kayaks, they’re good boats for negotiating the craggy coastline.
Hamish, Aidan and Erin came paddling from Gairloch harbour and spent a lot of time gazing through the water at all the wildlife below.
Jamie, Lisa, Carl, Juanita and Cameron-May spent the morning paddling with me in canoes. We had a nice low tide so lots of urchins and starfish were easily spotted above and below the waterline.
James, Cheryl and Cody crewed one boat whilst Sophie and Hailey jumped in my boat. We had a nice calm afternoon to learn some skills and have some fun on the water.
