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.

Free fall on Scarba
Tony and Phil carried the boats well above the tide line as we know that there is the possibility of tidal surges here. A tourist RIB roared round the bay en route from the Corryvreckan to the Grey Dogs. These trips bring much needed visitors and money to the local economy.
This was a marvellous spot to relax and have lunch.
We had a terrific view over the Firth of Lorn to Ben More on Mull.
The cliffs that surrounded our little beach formed a natural amphitheatre with walls over 100m high.
This waterfall cascades over the full height of the cliffs. In wet weather it forms an impressive spout.
We enjoyed our view of the mountains and the waterfall for free!
