Escape to wild places

We specialise in short outdoor experiences through to bespoke multi-day adventures all tailored to you in a remote part of the West Coast of Scotland, including Loch Sunart, Loch Shiel and Ardnamurchan. Everything we do emphasises a unique experience that is much more than just an activity.

With adventures for novices through to wild camping expeditions as well as family-friendly adventure holidays and luxurious adventure escapes, no matter whether you travel by canoe or kayak, on bike or on foot, a memorable adventure awaits you.

We've always done it this way as we just love helping you have an adventure holiday to remember for all the right reasons.

A day of slow adventures spent exploring remote shorelines, on and off the water. Your local guide will bring fresh locally‑sourced produce and cook you a lunch to remember.

These are private bookings (minimum two people) and will be tailored to your abilities, so you have time to relax, explore and create memories.

Explorers

Outstanding accommodation with adventure on your doorstep

Sleep in comfort at our bed & breakfast, Otterburn, where you'll help plan your exploration of the remotest parts of Ardnamurchan and the West Coast of Scotland. Each day will bring more learning, new locations to explore and incredible views to feast your eyes on.

You can also bring a paddling or non-paddling partner with you to share your room and evenings with.

Expeditions

Bespoke three‑ and five‑day adventures in wild places

Our flagship adventure is a circumnavigation of the Morvern Peninsula, but we offer novice adventurers a more bespoke and less demanding experience with shorter expeditions.

Responsible wild camping is integral to all adventures.

Ethical and responsible

We seek to minimise our environmental impact, use equipment made in the UK where possible, or at least British companies, whilst also supporting our communities and local businesses.
