Feedback…

“…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.”

Quality training and quality assessment

“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!”

Seeing the seals and eagle was spectacular

“…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…!!”

We have the confidence now

“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.”

Patient advice…

“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.”

An awesome day out

“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.”

Great coaching

“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.”

Great coaching and encouragement

“First of all I want to thank you for what probably has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in a really long time. To be honest I’ve become hooked on the sport and taken the decision to start obtaining star awards.”

I’ve become hooked

“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!”
