πΆ Scotland has some of the best canoe touring in the world β and you don't need to own a canoe to explore it.
Our canoe hire and shuttle service takes care of the logistics: hire your canoe and kit, and we'll get you and your gear to the start of your route, then collect you at the finish. No car shuffling, no roof-rack stress β just you, the water, and the scenery.
A few of the waterways you could explore (there are plenty more where these came from!):
ποΈ Great Glen Canoe Trail β 60 miles from Fort William to Inverness, taking in the Caledonian Canal and 3 of Scotland's lochs, including world famous Loch Ness. Usually 3β5 days depending on your pace.
π River Spey β one of Scotland's "Big 4" touring rivers, with fast currents and some cracking rapids. Popular routes run from Newtonmore to Spey Bay (Fochabers), or shorter trips from Kincraig or Aviemore.
βΊ Glen Affric β two beautiful lochs surrounded by native woodland, and some of the best wild camping around.
πΊοΈ Loch Assynt to the sea β a proper wilderness adventure, linking around 10 lochs by portage before finishing at the Atlantic coast.
Whether you're planning a multi-day expedition or just want a shorter paddle, get in touch and we'll help you sort the hire and shuttle to make it happen.
