“Absolutely fantastic trip, well organised and gave confidence.
“Thanks again for such an awesome trip out on the water with you. All the way through the booking experience I felt in safe hands in terms of your planning of the weather and the best location for us to go out from.
“Many thanks for yesterday’s kayaking session. Both Jane and I really enjoyed it. Great choice of route given our inexperience. We were impressed with the equipment that you supplied and I was delighted that the dry suit was a good fit, despite my awkward height and weight. We felt comfortable and stable in the double kayak, which was relatively easy to control, much more so than in others I have tried.

“A big thank you from Susan and I for the Kayaking sessions. We really enjoyed being able to get a different perspective on the island – the views were stunning.
We thought the quality of the Kayaks and associated equipment to be of a high standard and the ability to adjust the starting point was nice to be able to do. Your knowledge of the ‘secret’ passages and our ability to access them made for a great afternoon yesterday. We enjoyed your ‘stories’/explanations and the hot chocolate and brownie which were a nice touch!”

“My wife and I just wanted to say thank you so much to Jon for a fantastic experience yesterday morning. Jon was really good at showing us the ropes with the kayaks (which often doesn’t happen with kayaking experiences) and was super friendly. We saw our first wild Common Seals which was amazing, stopped off at a beautiful, secluded beach stop halfway with complementary hot chocolate and brownies which was much appreciated. A five-star guide and five-star experience, thank you so much Jon!!”

“Thank you so much for taking the boys out, they all had amazing time, learned so much from your knowledge of kayaking and of the local surroundings, even though Archie was just 9 years old he managed no problem his words were it was ‘Just amazing!’

“Paul and I would really like to thank Jon for a fantastic afternoon kayaking. We really enjoyed our afternoon – the company (seals included), knowledge gained, brownies and hot chocolate all made a very special afternoon. We would recommend you to anyone visiting Mull and will be back on our next visit!
Thank you so much.

“Thank you so much for taking us on a wonderful paddle. The beaches we saw were unbelievably beautiful.
“We had the most amazing afternoon , calm water ,dolphins ,seal , cave ,good company and amazing brownies .
The afternoon couldn’t have been improved ,we had a ball and will certainly book again on our next trip to Iona .
“Thanks Jon for brilliant day yesterday. We really enjoyed the opportunity to go round Iona with you on a lovely calm day. It was a good challenge but with plenty of time to relax and appreciate the amazing surroundings. Thank you for your expertise and local knowledge. It was a memorable grand day out. We can’t think of anything to improve the day”

“I totally enjoyed it. I felt totally safe in the boat, great equipment, chilled out beaches, good company, local history and challenging conditions, in which I feel proud to of paddled in. So I can’t really find anything to add to make the day better.
“Thank you so much for our afternoon yesterday. We had a glorious time. The paddling was a great length for us having never done any before, all your kit was excellent and your instructions were exactly what we needed. We loved hearing all about the history of the area and your previous trips as well. The brownies and hot chocolate were also a very welcome treat. More than anything your very calm manner reassured us completely! All in all, we had a top afternoon!

“Jon is a highly professional and experienced guide. From the outset he ensured that we were equipped with everything we need (all brand new) and conducted a totally unobtrusive assessment of our competencies.
We spent a magical 3 hours with him getting to know the coastline and wildlife between Uisken and Scoor off the south coast of Mull, sea birds and goats (yes!) a plenty. Really nice touch was the surprise of a hot chocolate and Wendy’s awesome brownies when we took a 15 minute breather on the beach at Scoor”.
Pip Llewellyn 2/6/21
“Great afternoon out on the water. I feel I’ve gained a lot of confidence after this half day session in a friendly, relaxed yet professional environment. Under quite demanding conditions Jon gave me clear guidance and a lot of good advice to improve my technique. I’ll be booking another session very soon. Thanks Bendoran Watersport”
Rebecca Burton 6/6/21
“Both Bex and myself absolutely loved the entire experience. Very friendly, laid back approach from John provides a relaxed atmosphere right from the get go, this allowed if not encouraged the whole group to interact which enhanced the whole experience. John casually chats and informs us all along the way on local information and history whilst directing us to where we are actually going so at no point did it feel restricted or rushed and we just got to make the most of the experience and oh boy we were so lucky with the weather it just made a truly memorable trip out. Thank you. We do hope next year to bring our full group with us on a longer session with you, as we think they would love it too. Thank you once again and we both wish you every success going forward.”
“Jon was a very patient, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable guide which made our very first experience of sea kayaking all the more enjoyable and likely to be repeated if we are lucky enough to visit your beautiful island again.
I won’t hesitate to recommend Jon and your company to anyone I know visiting Mull in future also.
Good luck with the development of the Bendoran site under the social enterprise.
I would love to see how it gets on.”
Glenn & Patrick Easton
“Both Claire and I agreed that the trip was one of the best activities we have booked on Mull and we have been coming every year for some time. We felt safe and secure with great equipment and expert knowledge. Jon’s relaxed and friendly personality made the more challenging parts of our trip exciting and kept our fear in check. Keep doing what you are doing and star baker goes to your wife for the brownies .
Thanks again”
Jan
“Hi Jon, just wanted to say how much Eunice and I enjoyed today. It was very special, thank you for taking us to such beautiful places and making it all so stress free.
All the best with everything, and thank-you again”

We will definitely book again if we come back to Mull.
