Magnificent mountains, wildlife and a temperamental weather, what else are you looking for in sea kayaking? Skye has much to offer for sea kayaking and due to its size and location it doesn’t matter where the wind is coming from, there is always an area where you can enjoy a good paddle. Just as an example you could paddle from Elgol to Camasunary and Loch Coruisk, camp on Soay. On the second day explore the Skye coast line south of the magnificent Black Cuillins. After a circumnavigation of Soay paddle back to Elgol. On this kind of sea kayaking trip it is guaranteed to see many seals and other sea wildlife.
