Close to our base in Arisaig village - Loch nan Ceall offers a sheltered start to the trip. The edge of the sea loch hides a collection of tidal islands, rocks and sand that form a wonderful sea kayaking playground. Paddling beyond these islands takes us round the Rubh' Arisaig, where a wilder section of coast reveals hidden turquoise lagoons and white sand beaches.

LOCH AILORT AND THE ARDNISH PENINSULA

WINDING SEA LOCH AND ABANDONED VILLAGES

A long fjord like sea loch that cuts between the Ardnish peninsula and the hills of Moidart. Hidden along the Lochs Northern shore are the remains of old abandoned settlements nestled above beaches and hidden bays. Tidal currents in the loch always make the sea kayaking here interesting as the water swirls round islands and over shallows, making a good hunting ground for elusive Otters.

LOCH MOIDART AND CASTLE TIORAM

SHELTERED AND OPEN SEAS, WOODED ISLANDS AND HIDDEN BAYS

A sea loch that bounds Eilean Shona on three sides, its north and easterly channel shallow, sandy and studded with wooded islands, contrasting with the South channel gradually opening out to the West to reveal a rugged coastline. Castle Tioram stands on top of a small tidal island, a focal point in the South channel that makes a perfect place to stop for lunch and scan the Loch for Seals, Eagles and Otters.

LOCH NAN UAMH AND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE RHU

SHELTERED BAYS AND ISLANDS WITH A WILD EDGE

A sea Loch surrounded by hills and islands, providing shelter and calm waters to start your journey. The further along the shores of the Loch, the wilder the coastline gets until we can reach a point where it is hard to spot any sign of civilisation - a wonderful place to escape for a day, exploring the hidden bays and secrets of this coast.
