Imagine you are at the edge of the sea on a day when it is difficult to say where the land ends and the sea begins and where the sea ends and the sky begins. Sea kayaking lets you explore these and your own boundaries and broadens your horizons. Sea kayaking is the new mountaineering.

End of the day on Islay.
From the cave system, we made our way back down to the sands of the great Bagh an Da Dhoruis on the north shore of Islay. The islands of Oronsay and Colonsay beckoned on the horizon.
The feelings of space, wildness and isolation washed over us as the sun...
...steadily dipped towards the horizon and the rocks of the cliffs began to redden.
Although the day was now slipping away, we decided to relaunch the kayaks. Oronsay, here we come!
