Knoydart is one of the most remote and hardest to reach areas in the Highlands of Scotland. However, by sea kayak it is a more pleasant way of discovering the magnificent hills of Knoydart.

This trip starts in Mallaig and the sea kayaking journey will lead us to the end of Loch Nevis. Once there the hills in the area will be explored. As you have more storage in a sea kayak it will be a more pleasant stay than walking in light-weight food.
