Loch Lomond Islands Kayak & Hike
Combine paddling to the wooded islands of Loch Lomond with a hill walk above the bonnie banks.
About this trip
Loch Lomond is dotted with wooded islands that are best reached under your own steam. Day one we paddle out among them by kayak, landing on quiet shingle beaches and looking for the loch's herons and ospreys. Day two swaps the water for the hills, climbing for a high view back over the whole island-studded loch.
All kayaking equipment and guiding, one night's accommodation and packed lunches are included. A little fitness and a willingness to get wet go a long way — no paddling experience required.
