It is one thing to be able to paddle and another thing to… paddle. We mean really paddle and be in full control of the kayak. What that means is being able to do tight turns, rock hopping, rescue techniques, rolling the sea kayak and much more.

Our 5 day intermediate sea kayaking course consists of 2 days training and a 3 day expedition. You will also have a chance to acquire a BCU 3 star. On this course you will stay for 4 nights in a great Bed & Breakfast in the city of Inverness and 2 nights wild camping. On the expedition all food is included. All other days breakfast and lunch packs are included. Inverness has a great choice of restaurants and other places to have a dinner. This is going to be a week to remember.
