“Thanks for a great course over the weekend. Just the outcome I was looking for, learning a lot about myself and my own learning style as well as those of others. And lots of little gems that I’ll use with our team and with clients coming through.”

Lots of little gems

“We had an awesome day out with Skyak Adventures. The instructor, Kate, was excellent – patient, knowledgeable and great fun. She took us to a stunning location on Loch Eishort where we saw seals and a white tailed eagle. She even knew where to pick the best mussels for our dinner. As novices, her expert tips and coaching really helped us to develop and improve in such a short time. A great day: great fun, challenging and exhilarating. Thanks so much.”

“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!”

Expert instruction…

“…a brief note to thank you for how well you take care of people when we’re there – gear to borrow, the kettle always on, resources to use, so much work put into helping us feel less nervous (even if some of us appear impervious to it, it is MUCH appreciated!), and so much obvious care, work and time put into running a quality training and quality assessment that is tailored to the individual students in the class. I know how much work that takes – so I wanted to say thank you.”

Simply first class

“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.”

My skills are improving

“I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for an amazing week on the water. I couldn’t believe my luck when I won the raffle prize and I have been ridiculously excited about the course for months (ask my family!). Your coaching was spot on for me, Gordon, and I tried hard to take on board everything you said. I have plans for my three part homework, and hopefully Kate will see an improvement in 3 months time…”

Coaching was spot on for me

“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!”
