Guided FatBike & Sea Kayak trips around the Isle of Islay, Scotland. Wildlife and environmentally friendly. Get in touch to find out more.

Permanently closed.

Guided FatBike trips around Islay, mostly on the Big Strand from Port Ellen but can explore anywhere. We used to offer sea kayak tours too but the constant high wind meant far too many cancellations but this is always an option. We aim to tailor the trip to you own requirements and unless specifically requested we don't combine parties to enable a more specific trip to suit your needs.

Hi folks, it been a strange start to the year.
Due to a change in circumstances I have made the decision to close the business and cease tours. I have been offered a full time job!
Don’t worry I am keeping a few spare FatBike for friends and family to enjoy! The rest will be put for sale very soon. Currently advertised locally but will be open to offers from afar soon.
A massive thank you to everyone who has enjoyed a tour with me either in kayaks or on the Fatbikes, I have enjoyed everyone. If you are just looking for the first time, sorry!
Thanks again.

The FatBike shed is empty, can only mean one thing!

The end of a great week spent at Kincraig, 46km ridden today around Loch Eilein over to Rothiemurcus for lunch. Sadly more windblown trees today made route changes along the way!

Our Story

Guided sea kayak trips around Islay, mostly on the southern shores from Port Ellen along past Ardbeg. Ample sheltered spots as well as some more challenging elements, enough for most tastes and experience levels. We aim to combine a relaxing tour enabling you to see Islay from a different angle and to appreciate the amazing coastline and the view across to Kintrye, Arran and Ireland (at times - can't always see that far!!!!). Kayaking allows an almost silent approach to wildlife and the possibilities include seals, the many sea birds and an occasioal glimpse of the elusive otter. Further out dolphins and porpoise along with basking sharks have been seen. Oh and who could forget the 3 distilleries along the way, what a way to sample a dram by kayaking there first!

If kayaking doesn’t fit the bill, what about our new addition, Fatbiking on the beach? A great alternative with a selection of rides from a ride onlong the strand, a hill track or a leasurily cycle along the 3 distillery path.
