Kayak Kinloch will give you a different perspective of the land around you and help you slow down to appreciate the quiet surrounding you, enjoying where very few people venture.

All required equipment is provided by Kayak Kinloch; shortie wetsuits, spray jackets, and life jackets are also available. You will have a choice of single or double kayaks so those with less experience are welcome to join.

Delicious morning or afternoon refreshments are provided for our 2hr trips; all dietary requirements can be accommodated.

Our restaurant offers hearty meals to help you recoup some of the calories you’ve burnt out on the water. There are also plenty of walks and activities nearby to make a day of it, or we have the perfect places to relax and soak up the view if you stay with us – the hot tub is our favourite.
