“What sets a canoeing expedition apart is that it purifies you more rapidly and inescapably than any other travel.”
Pierre Elliott Trudeau

The Highlands of Scotland contain some of the most majestic rivers our country has to offer. From two hour paddles to multi day adventures, a canoe is the way to experience them. The River Spey, River Conon, River Beauly, Caledonian Canal, Great Glen, Loch Ness and Glen Affric are all available to explore. Need a suggestion? Give us a call. We enjoy talking about canoeing almost as much as doing it!!

Canoeing in Scotland near Inverness

Canoe Loch Ness near Inverness

We have a fleet of sixteen Mad River Horizon Royalex 15 foot and 17 foot canoes, plus a couple of polyethylene Venture Prospectors for rocky rivers. These are available for hire on a daily basis.  The price includes paddles, waterproof barrels, cags and all safety equipment. Portage trolleys and barrel harnesses also available - strongly recommended for Great Glen or NW Highlands journeys!

You can pick the canoe up from our headquarters outside Inverness, or for an additional charge, we can deliver the canoe to you. If you wish to be picked up after a multi day adventure, we can quote for that too. We can pick you up from Inverness Airport, provide camping equipment and food and drop you off along with the canoes at your preferred starting point. The permutations are endless.
