Water Activities
Coasteering
Coasteering with Skye Adventure is an incredible journey along a beautiful section of coast line in the most Northern part of Skye. Your adventure will include swimming, jumping and climbing as you make a journey round the coast by sea and rock. We start by getting into wetsuits, buoyancy aids and helmets then taking a short walk to a section of coastline that has small cliffs and deep water. We will then take you on an unforgettable adventure where you'll see intricate coves, sea stacks and plenty of local sea birds, you'll swim through hidden tunnels and jump from rocks into the North Atlantic, you won't be able to wipe the grin from your face!
We also offer advanced coasteering sessions with longer journeys and bigger swims. For this day out you must be fit and have decent swimming ability, previous experience swimming in the sea is desirable.

Canyoning
Canyoning is the perfect activity for the adventurous at heart. Sessions start with a relaxed walk in from Glen Brittle towards the spectacular Black Cuillin ridge. If you're lucky enough to spot the tops of the hills on the Island of Rum it's going to be a good day!
Gorge Walking
Skye has many beautiful rivers and canyons to explore and is a truly unique place to experience gorge walking. The best thing about the gorge is that it feels untouched, a landscape that hasn't changed since the glaciers carved it out. The kind of place that a pterodactyl could swoop out of the prehistoric vegetetation, or even a Kingfisher which Matt claims to have spotted in there!
