Following five very successful expeditions to St.Kilda, 3 sea kayaking and 2 sailing expeditions, the exciting Wild West Expedition is on again.

The expedition is vessel supported. We will be living on board a working dive boat, MV. Dundarg. She is 70 feet long and 100 tons. Her skipper John Kinsail is extremely knowledgeable and with over 15 years of experience in these waters and having been to St.Kilda many times it is an excellent platform to explore from. You will be sharing cabins and all food is provided on board, which is ‘plentiful’ and excellent.

Our aim is to reach St.Kilda as quickly as possible [weather permitting] and then explore Hirta and the impressive sea stacks such as Stack Lee and Armin. These are rarely visited by boat, let alone in sea kayaks, we have successfully landed on St.Kilda five times.  Obviously the weather and conditions will dictate everything but with a strong paddling crew we have every chance of having a real adventure! It will be down to us all to decide on each day’s journey, exploration and content.

Obviously the weather plays a huge role in the trips itinerary, but we will be visiting other west coast destinations during the expedition, such as Harris, Skye, North Uist and the small isles.

This advanced expedition is for those who hold BCU four star or five star awards in sea kayaking or have proven rough water experience. If you have any queries on booking a place please ring us to discuss it. Although not a course there will be qualified sea kayak coaches, normally at least one level five coach, onboard. We will plan with the skipper and crew each day’s activities and look after safety cover whilst you are out on the water.

To reach so many famous sea kayaking destinations in one trip is a total bonus!
