During your canoe experience you will be an active part of the team. You will be expected to get involved and take responsibility to the extent that whilst your guide will oversee safety and the experience in general, the emphasis will remain on you to adhere to training and become an involved, responsible, active team member.

We will provide adequate training, equipment and support to ensure you are able to do this and your adventure remains a top class experience. All outdoor leaders are deemed as competent to fulfil their role and hold relevant experience and qualifications to facilitate your choice of activity. The pace of the experience will have to be a balance between group needs and the actual activity. Flexibility is needed from all to account for changes in weather, dealing with individual or group needs, and wild animals. You should also expect that the general ethos and ethics of the company will still be adhered to including the Eco policy. All experiences will contain some amount of information about Natural history.

Our Outdoor team are carefully selected and regularly reminded of the ethos through training and updates; they also enjoy what they do. The equipment you receive is the best we are able to offer, regularly checked for serviceability and clean.

Loch Lomond Canoe Safaris guided open canoe journeys single or multi day, typically an experience will start at 09.45 until 16.00; remember we can pick you up if you’re in Glasgow or meet you at the lochside. Adventurers will be trained to control their two person craft with basic skills and also ensure they have basic safety knowledge during your journey exploring a loch or along rivers. Some canoe safaris make use of the scenic areas within a 45 min journey time from Glasgow.

The Islands of Loch Lomond. By far our most popular choice for a canoe safari is to journey throughout the coasts and volcanic islands of Loch Lomond.

These large primeval Islands are rich in wildlife. Our small canoes and appropriate skills make even the most isolated bay accessible. The guided journey gives a sense of freedom, the ability to intimately explore this romantic wilderness-like area whilst knowing safety is always at the forefront of our decisions.

What to see. There is everything from old ruins; castles; graveyards; remnants of medieval communities; dead clansmen and warriors. The wildlife is magical, and there exists real chances of spotting a variety of birds such as osprey, buzzard, smew and Capercaillie to mention just a few. Larger animals may be viewed such as fallow deer, roe deer, wallaby, fox or if very lucky otter or wildcat.
