White Water Kayaking

White water kayaking in Fort William and Lochaber is without a doubt world class and the area has become renowned as having some of the most challenging rivers in the U.K.

The River Nevis is known as the local test piece for most and there are over 20 rivers above grade 3 within half an hours drive of Fort William. As well as the known classics such as the Nevis, Roy, Etive and Moriston there are also the lesser known creeks that are abundant.

Sea Kayaking

If the hectic pace of white water kayaking is not your thing and you prefer a day on the briny sea then look no further. Fort William and Lochaber has an amazing choice of sea kayaking trips available from a few hours on Loch Eil to multi day trips into special places such as Knoydart and open crossings to the Islands from Mallaig and Arisaig. Sea Kayaking around Scotland's west coast is without a doubt world class with adventures for all levels.

The coastal waters around Lochaber offer a variety of sea kayaking that is among the best in the world. We’ve got everything from multi-day trips in exposed tidal waters to a gentle evening paddle along a secluded shoreline. Lochaber is also an excellent base when starting out on longer trips around the Islands of Mull and Skye or the islands off Argyll. Long sandy beaches, deserted islands, stunning mountain scenery, sheltered sea lochs, tide rips and overfalls with fearsome reputation, sea cliffs and caves. Sea kayaking around Lochaber offers a unique opportunity to explore these riches and there are many more secrets to discover.


Open Canoeing

There are also some fantastic open canoeing trips on offer in the Fort William and surrounding area. The start or end of the Caledonian Canal is just 4 miles out of Fort William and there are many great wilderness adventures available around the coastline and on the inland lochs.
