Neil's Boat Trip

Neil's Boat Trip

Neil Macrae's boat trips are famous worldwide. Over the years he has appeared on a number of TV shows, radio broadcasts and articles. Not bad for a man who's living comes not from tourism, but as a scallop fisherman.

A local lad, born and bred, Neil's easy charm is infectious and like any fisherman he's never short of a fishy tale or two. However, he's a good man to keep on the right side of. To see the majestic views from the centre of Loch Carron while tasting scallops, cooked on the boat just seconds out of the water, is an experience not to be missed.

The abundant sea-life also attracts a wealth of seals, sea birds and the occasional dolphins and porpoises all of which can be viewed in close quarters from the familiar fishing boat. 

Neil's boat trip is available on the 4 day Skye, Seafood and Whisky and the 8 day Skye, Harris & Lewis.

 

Traditional Music

Traditional Music

It's not without good reason that the village of Plockton (a few miles from Stromeferry) is home to the National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music. Live music is still very much part of the culture and we will most likely be lucky enough to some in the local pubs.

Wild Foraging

Wild Foraging

What better way to gain an insight into the lifes of our ancestors, and perhaps a path for our future than foraging for wild foods on a walk with a local authority in the scenic Scottish Highlands. 

For countless generations nature's larder has provided not only foodstuffs but medicines, clothing and many other useful resources. It's only in very recent generations that our heritage of plant lore and uses has begun to be lost.

You'll be amazed at the host of tasty and healthy plants thrive on our doorstep.

Foraging excursions are available upon request on both the 4 day Skye, Seafood and Whisky and the 8 day Skye, Harris & Lewis

 

Kiora Kayaking

Sea Kayaking near Skye

On wild, island studded Loch Carron you can paddle a sea kayak amidst stunning mountain scenery with panoramic views of the Applecross Hills, the Skye Cuillin and Raasay.You will land on white coral beaches, pass Scottish castles and see abundant wildlife.

Sea kayaking is one of the fastest growing outdoor activities and we are fortunate that the west coast of Scotland offers one of the best coastlines for this sport, not just in Scotland, but in the world.

We are able to access an enormous variety of venues depending on the weather and what you want. These venues include the sheltered sea lochs of Loch Duich and Loch Long, the island archipelago from Plockton to Kyle of Lochalsh, and the dramatic and varied coastline of the islands of Skye, Rona and Raasay.

Our experienced instructors are also countryside rangers and are passionate about the area they live in. Their knowledge of the area, environment and the abundant wildlife is second to none. They can take you by kayak to explore wildlife that few will experience.

The courses and day trips that we offer are suitable for complete beginners or competent paddlers who want to broaden their skills and techniques. We are also able to offer activities for children and are registered with the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority.

A full, six hour long day trip will cost 45 pounds per person. This will include sea kayak (Capella), paddles, buoyancy aid, spraydeck, waterproofs and the instruction of the two guides. A double kayak with rudder will also be available for those who are a little nervous of their first time on the sea.
