Over Night Sannox to Lochranza via Laggan Cottage
Arran is a spectacular island - rugged peaks fall straight to the sheltered waters of the Clyde and rolling hills provide the balance, which makes Arran affectionately known as "Scotland in Miniature". The overnight Kayaking Expedition offers a truly unique and memorable experience for people of all paddling capabilities and interests. During the summer months this trip will be aimed at the “first timers” - where a sense of adventure is what we are trying to achieve. The route will take in the remote north-east corner of the island, away from the road and traffic that goes with it. This coastline offers great opportunities of sightings of Golden eagles, seals and porpoises.
