BOOK NOW


Aimed at those with a spirit of adventure (and a fair degree of stamina), the Voyageur takes us far from the madding crowds and into the wild, coastal landscapes of North West Scotland. Set over five days, we travel tandem for up to six hours a day and at night camp under tarps. This is a completely self-sufficient expedition, all food and equipment being carried in the canoes for the duration. We will however supplement our diet with wild foods we find along the way. You will also have the opportunity to sample one of our famous fish pies! In true voyageur style all cooking will be over open fires .

Course syllabus:

Advanced paddle strokes
Island and beach camping
Coastal edibles
Rapid running skills
Coastal fishing
Poling skills
Seal / otter watching
Exposed water crossings
Bushcraft skills
