The Viking Loop

Starting at Tarbet we'll head south on Loch Lomond, before dropping down the River Leven onto the Clyde.

From there we'll head out into the firth before heading up Loch Long to Arrochar before completing our trip with an optional portage back to Tarbet.

Trip planning made easy!

We know that when you're on a trip you don't want to worry about logistics, so we've taken care of everything! 

Where there's a shuttle needed we'll take care of it, and when it comes to food we've a mouth watering menu put together, so all you have to worry about is enjoying it. 

Our fleet of Hōu Canoes are available for you to use either paddling solo or with another member of the team, if you have your own boat feel free to bring it along and we'll discount your trip appropriately.

During most of our trips, there are opportunities to gain your British Canoeing Multi Day Touring, Open Water Touring or Canoe Progressive award, (for a small additional cost). 

What you need to bring with you:

1. Clothing for paddling
2. Full waterproofs
3. Outdoor clothing you don't mind getting smelly and a wee bit damp in
4. Shoes for being on the water (trainers or boots you don't mind getting wet, or wellies. We do not recommend thin wetsuit boots for this trip as there is some walking to be done.)
5. Clothing for in camp
6. Dry clothes for around camp
7. Dry shoes
8. Sleeping system
9. Sleeping bag
10. Sleep matt
11. Thermals to sleep in

This is an intermediate trip as it involves a number of big days and large open water crossings. If you're not sure if this is the trip for you get in touch and we can discuss it

*This is our ideal itinerary however it may change when we're on the go as we'll work with the weather and pick campsites best suited to us on each day.
