Sea kayak hire or rental in Scotland has to be from Oban we couldnt be more convenient. From Sea Kayak Oban its 50 metres walk to the harbour and head off into the wide blue yonder or catch a ferry (sea kayaks are free) to numerous idyllic islands. For the inexperienced we have “sit on top ” hire available with inflateable roof racks.
Last year we saw dolphins, seals, basking sharks and otters within 10 minutes paddling of the slip.
For the gnarly paddler there is the Falls of Lora, the Corryvreckan & the Grey Dogs.
For the sandy beach lovers there is Colonsay, Iona, Gigha , Coll & much more.
Or simply join one of our Sea Kayaking Courses & learn to Sea Kayak.

For those of you who are not sure sea canoeing is the same as sea kayaking its just an older term. Open canoeing is the same as Canadian Canoeing. Sea kayaks do perform much better on the sea or exposed lochs ie in windy situations than open canoes. If you dont like the idea of being enclosed check out our super safe sit on tops or fishing kayaks as they are also known.
