Sea Kayaking on Tiree

self rescue training.

west coast of Tiree.


Happy Valley on the sw coast.



Balivulin before the swell arrived!

The last few days have been a mixture of wild winds and brilliant sunshine out on Tiree.
Andy has been over introducing Marty who runs a Kite surfing school on the island, to sea kayaking.
They have been so lucky as the conditions have been just great for each days coaching and journeys.
They even managed two fabulous evening surf sessions in glorious sunshine and as the wind dropped each evening they hit lucky!

Hebridean Pursuits will be offering sea kayaking trips on Tiree next summer season, come and try it, journey along the beautiful coastline and watch wildlife form the kayaks such as basking sharks..
