Advanced Kayak trips
First we will meet or talk on the phone to find out what sort of trip might be best for you and plan the trip. We will send you a sea kayaking self assesment sheet, to help you analyse your current skill level decide your aspirations and priorities.
The Firth of Lorn is one of the world's premier sea kayak venues, with everything from sheltered sea lochs, fascinating rocky islands abounding with wildlife to seriously scary tide races. So whatever your level, we can find something to suit.
While we are paddling, if you wish, we can run through some "Top tips and handy hints" to hone your skills and enable you to paddle further, more safely and more enjoyably.
For advanced day trips, we usually start about 10:00 and finish about 17:00 depending on tides, weather, location and how keen you are.
But to really experience sea kayak freedom, let's go and camp overnight on one of the many wild island of the Argyll coast.
Evening sessions can be arranged. How about a moonlight paddle and night navigation exercise?

Equipment
If you have your own kayak you are welcome to bring it along. If you prefer to use our equipment we can provode P&H Capella kayaks or WS Tempests and possibly a Northshore Shoreline.
Seafreedom provides the kayak, the paddle, a spray deck, buoyancy aid (PFD), paddling jacket and essential safety equipment.
You will need to bring shoes or sandals that don't matter, two layers of thermal top or fleece and something like track suit trousers or shorts. Dry suits are great, "long john" wet suits are OK, but wet suits with arms can be very tiring to paddle in all day.
Full information will be provided when you book.
