This is a journey into one of the most spectacular areas of Europe. We will be gliding through the Knoydart, an amazing wilderness area cut off from the mainland road network, surrounded by majestic mountains and deep lochs.

FOOD
All food will be purchased before the journey. For a true expedition feel we require participants to carry their own equipment and food, all part of the adventure. We will cook evening meals together for the true expedition experience.
YOUR SAFETY
Your safety is paramount, we use a 1:4 ratio. Our trip leaders are highly qualified WSA Expedition and Adventure guides with advanced first aid qualifications. They are experienced operating in wilderness areas. Leashes and buoyancy aids must be worn at all times on the water, unless instructed differently by the WSA guide.
EQUIPMENT
A full equipment list will be sent on booking. We are happy for you to bring your own SUP but it must be able to carry equipment and you must be comfortable on it in choppy water. Having the right equipment is really important and if you are bringing your own board you must contact us to advise us of the make and model. We will advise on suitability. We can help by hiring you suitable boards. We insist on coiled leashes and buoyancy aids and can help if required.
