Arisaig SUP Expedition

You will meet your instructor at Arisaig on the first day in the morning at 10:00 where you will sort through all the kit required and embark out onto the sea on your paddleboards! Food is not provided so please ensure to bring enough with you for the two days!

Heading out from the village you will quickly come upon the glorious skerries where we will navigate our way amongst, around and in between them heading either North or South depending on tides and wind determining what will be easiest for our return journey the next day.

We will spend the evening under the stars camping in tents and socialising on the beaches while watching the glorious sunsets across the Inner Hebrides. 

Day two sees us making our way back to Arisaig along the coastline possibly with some rock and island hopping and maybe even catching the odd surf on a wave if the waves are big enough for a bit of fun. We will aim to be back at the vehicles for around 15:00 on the second day where we will part ways and wish you the very best of the rest of your time in Scotland. 

We are proud to recommend local accommodation options within the area for people when you are up for your SUP two day expedition at Arisaig:

Aviemore:

Youth Hostel A budget friendly option for people.

Coylumbridge Hotel Aviemroe – good for groups and families alike.

Premier Inn – always a good shout.

Rothiemurchus Campsite – situated in the stunning forest, this is a beautiful budget friendly option.

Glenmore Campsite – situated at Scotland’s highest beach, Loch Morlich has phenomenal views across to Cairngorm Mountain.

Newtonmore & Surrounding Areas:

https://www.wherestagsroar.co.uk/ award winning accommodation in the Highlands – perfect to stay at while up on an outdoor adventure.

Invernahavon Caravan Park – a bit quieter than the others as it is a little further away from the hustle and bustle of Aviemore.

Dalraddy Holiday Park – a family and dog friendly campsite.

Is a 2 day Adventure Expedition Journey stand up paddleboarding (SUP) around Arisaig the right thing for me and my group? 

If you have a desire to see some of the most beautiful locations in the entire world then Arisaig is up there! With its majestic Skerries, rock hopping, caves, Islands and glorious white sandy beaches. Truly there can be no greater place to take a SUP and explore the coastline. 

We offer this trip over two days so that you can camp out under the stars in a tent to wake up the glorious sights of the West Coast of Scotland. If you like stand up paddleboarding – or even if you have never done it before we guarantee you won’t be disappointed with this trip.

We offer the trip down to 10 years old (although if booking children onto this trip we ask that they are sporty and physically able). This can be one of the funnest way to spend two days with the family journeying through the majestic coastline.

We pride ourselves on providing as much kit as possible for you.  However, the list below is what we recommend you should bring to your Arisaig SUP Adventure Expedition Journey:

• Something to go underneath a wetsuit – swimwear or a spare pair of underwear. (We do provide swimshorts to wear over the top of the wetsuit for greater style and modesty.)
