Details of Open Canoeing Holiday in North West Highlands

This incredible trip journeys through one of the most pristine wilderness areas of Scotland. Inverpolly in the North West Highlands comprises of undulating heather moorland, peat bogs and lochs. Pockets of birch, hazel and rowan woodland cover the low-lying areas while the skyline is dominated by towering Torridonian Sandstone peaks.

Our journey takes us through a system of glacial lochs, allowing us to climb some of the peaks by remote and rarely-trodden routes. At night, we camp on small islands on in sandy coves, basking in the glorious views all around and sit by our small campfire as the sun drops behind the mountains.

This is genuinely wild land - golden eagle country - and journeying by canoe allows us to travel quietly and observe the rich and varied wildlife of the region. This is an unforgettable wilderness adventure in one of Scotland’s most beautiful and remote areas.
