Locations

These are some of the places you could go to, however please note that viability is weather dependent and may need to be re-assessed on the day.

Bendoran

Bendoran is located in a very sheltered bay – perfect for introducing the sea kayaking experience, we can have a great trip up the sea loch in calm water and on building confidence head out into the more open waters of Loch na Lathaich to explore islands and even venture out to the light house on still days.

Ardtun Peninsular

Ardtun peninsular

The Ardtun peninsular sitting opposite the majestic Burg is seldom visited but truly spectacular. Basalt cliffs, akin to Staffa, eery caves and swooping gannets make you feel you have returned to ancient times.

Market Bay

North from Bendoran, you paddle up the sheltered stone beaches that mark the edge of Loch na Lathaich and then out into the Atlantic. We could drop in to the historic Salmon Fishing Station at Camas Tuath. Then head out to Market bay – golden sands and turquoise water, perfect for a bbq or wild camp.

South Coast

A 5 minute drive takes us to Uisken on Mulls south coast. This is sheltered from northerly winds and trips from here have amazing isolated white sand beach after beach. It’s glorious!
