Water Activities
Coasteering
Experience Skye from a unique perspective on a coasteering session with Skye Adventure. Jump, climb and swim your way around an intricate coastline navigating coves, sea stacks and hidden tunnels. Leap from rocks into the North Atlantic, dodge swooping seabirds and unlock your inner *Selkie. This is an adventure not to be missed!
*Selkie - a mythological creature that can shapeshift between seal and human forms by removing or putting in their sealskin.
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!
