Sea kayaking in Scotland is one if the best ways to explore its stunning coastlines. In fact, Scotland is one of the best destinations in the world for kayaking, because it is blessed with endless beaches, geological wonders and marine wildlife. As you paddle along its diverse coastlines, you will uncover the country’s rich history, visit picturesque villages and have ample opportunities to spot unique wildlife unobtrusively from the water.

Following an experienced Sea Kayaking Guide, your small group of like-minded adventurers will paddle through sheltered bays inaccessible to Zodiacs, along the coast where seabirds nest, and experience the thrill of venturing into the open ocean below towering cliffs and sea stacks.

Our guides have years of kayaking experience and will help you get the most out of your time sea kayaking in Scotland. They have a wealth of knowledge about Scotland and will share facts about the destination, wildlife you encounter and geological marvels as you kayak.

"Everything was beyond expectations. Staff were very friendly & experienced in their roles. The room we had was very comfortable, and the food was good. Loved the entire holiday, especially the kayaking and would use Aurora for a sea kayaking adventure again."

J. Coleiro

"The guides were all excellent. We were part of the kayaking team so we spent a lot of time with Dan and Wes and I cannot think of a single thing to improve on their service. They are both incredibly knowledgeable, sensitive and fun and contributed to our enjoyment of our expedition."
