We hope that our website tempts you to come and enjoy one of our trips. Some of you, who have already paddled with us, have been kind enough to give us your thoughts in writing. We’re very grateful for this and hope that these words will give more of the flavour of kayaking with Oban Sea Kayak Guides.

"I'm coming back..."

I just saw our pictures on your web page from this summer and I realized I forgot to send a big thank you. You made that day one of the most memorable days of our trip to Scotland.

It was just such a beautiful day and the surroundings were marvellous but to tell you the truth, it wouldn't have made it without you.

I would recommend your tours to anyone going to Scotland and when, and I say WHEN I go back to Scotland, I'm coming back for a tour in the kayaks with you.

Thanks for a great memory and hope to see you in the future.

"...the best day of our holiday..."

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for such an awesome experience sea kayaking last week. It really was the best day of our holiday.

The scenery was absolutely stunning and all your knowledge of the area made it a very interesting and unique experience!

I was very nervous about getting out on the water but you were an excellent teacher so thank you for your patience!

"Absolutely fabulous..."

My son Alex and I went for a sea kayaking taster session run by Colin McWilliams just over a week ago and had a fantastic time.  We had kayaked a little bit before but never on the sea.  We learned so much in a few hours it far exceeded our expectations – we are hooked!  We plan to visit again and go out with Colin on longer trips so that we can progress and gain more skill and experience.  Sea kayaking is a brilliant way to gain not only an appreciation of the sea, wildlife and kayaking but also to forge strong bonds between families (mother and almost teenage son in this case).  Colin was flexible and able to coach us individually, ensuring that we learned and had fun at the same time. Absolutely fabulous – we can't wait to go sea kayaking again.

"...the highlight of my holiday..."

My day paddling with Oban Sea Kayak Guides was definitely the highlight of my holiday. Organising a day's paddling during a week of fickle Scottish weather was made easy due to your flexibility.

You were able to tailor the activities to suit my experience and ability, whilst maintaining a comfortable level of safety. Under your guidance my paddling technique and enjoyment improved greatly, giving me the confidence to tackle the challenging conditions.

Your enthusiasm, friendliness and patient instruction were much appreciated – as was the tomato soup! Once again, thanks to you and Oban Sea Kayak Guides for a fantastic day on the water.
