Guided Kayak Trips - From No Experience to Seasoned Paddlers!

Come with us to experience the amazing coastline that Shetland has to offer. From cliffs, geos and caves, Shetland is truly world class when it comes to sea kayaking. Abundant in wildlife, including many different sea birds, seals and the elusive Otter and Orca.  Trips are tailored to the ability of participants. Never kayaked before.. no problem as we offer a Taster Session or if you have a little experience, then our half-day and full day excursions are perfect for you. Please contact us with your preferred dates and length of trip.
If you are bringing your own kayak and would like a local guide, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Once again, this year, Sea Kayak Shetland is pleased to be supporting Shetland Canoe Club in delivering the Sea Kayak Symposium over July 24th-26th 2026. 

Sea Kayak Shetland are offering guided days out for the experienced sea kayakers that are coming to Shetland for the dates 20th-23rd and 27th-31st July. These are suitable for paddlers that are confident in paddling in GF5 winds and 1.5m swell.  These are going to be small groups looking to explore some of the incredible coastline that Shetland has to offer.

Please contact us direct to discuss more details as places are limited!

Tailor Made Trips for Experienced Kayakers.

We do not have a schedule of trips.  They are all arranged according to requests, the weather forecast and the sea-state.  Locations are usually decided just a day or two before so we can have the best experience available on the day.  If you are an experienced kayaker, or a club group and there is somewhere particular you would like to visit, let us know and we will try to get there.

Our guides are also qualified Advanced Water Leaders and Instructors.  If you'd like to discuss bespoke training please get in touch.  We also occasionally offer group training sessions and these will be advertised here and on our social media channels.

Weather

As the weather on Shetland can be very changeable, it dictates our choice of venue. We cannot guarantee that you will have a trip in the area of your choice, but all the coastline is interesting and your trip will be one to remember.
