“Many thanks for a fantastic few days kayaking off Skye. I really enjoyed exploring the wonderful scenery, seeing the seals and eagle was spectacular, and I learnt a great deal from you both. Getting my 3 star was a real and unexpected bonus!”

Simply first class

“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

“…we have the confidence now, under good forecasts to really get out there on our own and have some fun and feel we have really developed skills. This is due in part to the confidence Gordon gave us and so again how much we appreciated the course and what we learnt (skills and tidal / trip etc. planning). So thanks so much for helping us to do such things. We look forward to St Kilda…!!”

Very impressed with the professional yet relaxed set up

“Just to say I very much enjoyed my week with Gordon, and I did get a lot out of it and I think my skills are improving as a result. Lots to think about and so many positive things to reflect on (The Kylerhea Narrows, and the trip to Soay were pretty special!).

I did manage to eskimo roll in the pool after watching the videos and Janice doing a great job of coaching.! and as John said- It’s practice A’m needin tae keep bidin afloat.”

“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!”

A great week. We learned sooooo much more

“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.”

Empowering… fabulous coaching

“You know you have had good coaching when you notice the difference in your paddling. You know you have had great coaching when others notice too. And I had great coaching with Skyak Adventures.”
