Your safety is paramount, we use a 1:4 ratio. Our trip leaders are highly qualified Expedition and Adventure guides with advanced first aid qualifications.

If you are arriving by train, we will arrange a collection in Fort William for 09:00am. Please specify your travel details on the expedition questionnaire provided. After introductions we will have a final brief, kit check, and issue group food, then we have a short journey to the launch site.

We make a short paddle journey after breakfast to the pier in Inverie, where we board the MV Western Isles for an hour cruise back to Mallaig, where we say farewell, and embark on our journey home.

Our trips are fully outfitted and cover the essentials you will require when you are out on your adventure. However, you will know what you are comfortable paddling in, the water will be cold, and the weather can change quickly. Off the water we will be living outside, so warm clothes will be required as this is a coastal/mountain environment. It is essential that your kit is packed in dry bags and remains completely dry. Please ensure that your drybags are connected to your board securely with approximately 1 metre of cord.
