Kayak Wild Islay
Description
Sea kayak guided trips around the Isle of Islay, Scotland.
Wildlife and environmentally friendly paddles accessing the amazing coastline and stunning beaches.
Even visit a whisky distillery from the sea if you fancy! Guided sea kayak trips around Islay, mostly on the southern shores from Port Ellen along past Ardbeg. Ample sheltered spots as well as some more challenging elements, enough for most tastes and experience levels.
We aim to combine a relaxing tour enabling you to see Islay from a different angle and to appreciate the amazing coastline and the view across to Kintrye, Arran and Ireland (at times - can't always see that far!!!!).
Kayaking allows an almost silent approach to wildlife and the possibilities include seals, the many sea birds and an occasional glimpse of the elusive otter. Further out dolphins and porpoise along with basking sharks have been seen.
Oh and who could forget the 3 distilleries along the way, what a way to sample a dram by kayaking there first!
We aim to tailor the trip to you own requirements and unless specifically requested we don't combine parties to enable a more specific trip to suit your needs.

A leisurely Sunday afternoon jaunt to Laphroaig and back looking for seals, ducklings and the elusive otter. Shame no otters to be found but a pleasant trip all the same.
