Feedback…

“Missing Scotland already!! Thank you for looking after me so well during my travels – it played a big role in my holiday being a success. I had a really lovely time with you all. Skyak is a very special business and impacts on so many people in the most positive way and I feel very lucky to have been able to benefit from kayaking with you and am looking forward to many more trips!”

Skyak is a very special business

“I met so many lovely people whilst on the course and a special thank you to both Mick for his patience and persistence, and you Gordon for affording me the 1-2-1 time when we visited the “Coral Island” in Loch Eishort. It was truly inspirational and my abiding memory of that day which will always make me smile was the line “ … the more time I’ve spent being an outdoor education instructor, the more I realise I’m really a therapist!” Well the treatment you delivered on what was a pretty dreich day was spot on: you got someone with zero self-confidence there and back in one piece for which I’ll always be grateful.”

Truly inspirational

“Great Course. Thank you very much for arranging such an excellent course. It was everything I wanted & more. I aim to be back next June for a similar technique based course. Penny & I had a very nice paddle on the Sunday after the course starting from the bottom of your garden. Very pretty & we saw an otter while having our picnic.”

An excellent course

“Much appreciation for Mick’s tuition over the two days – patient, evidence-based advice (like my paddles being upside-down), endorsing abilities and gently pointing out incompetence that would have led to unsought-after submarine skills.”

A super day… expert instruction

“Thank you, again, for the amazing three days on Skye. We realise how much we learned during that time. I’ve been quite pleased to demonstrate the “balance” exercises to friends here. I must say, they do look rather impressive. We hope to have a lot of days on the water so will practice practice practice.”

An amazing three days on Skye

“Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU from us both for a great week on our first proper intro to sea kayaking. We found the course empowering and with the right amount of push and challenge from the fabulous coaching you gave us. You helped us to achieve more than we thought was possible. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and plan to be back for more! Please pass on our thanks to Morag, and of course Kate who was also a great coach.”
