The school holidays might be over but our adventures continue!

On Thursday we were delighted to have a team from Reach Subsea at the loch enjoying some team challenges, paddleboarding as well as being on target with axe throwing and archery!

On Saturday we had the Aberdeen H&P | Drilling Contractor team at Donmouth looking to take to a bigger environment after enjoying the loch for the last few years!

Our public sessions are still in full swing at the loch until the end of the October holidays and our evening tours run to the middle of September.

It's always great to see so many people enjoying the water and other activities we offer!

Yesterday we had a flotilla out at Donmouth as we welcomed 77th Perthshire Scouts Scotland out on the water.

Returning to us as part of their annual camp in Aberdeenshire they asked us for something new and Donmouth delivered beautifully as ever 😎

We were delighted to welcome Scill (Supporting Children in Learning for Life) down at the loch again last weekend 🙂

We had an absolute blast on the water on Sunday at Granite Adventures. So lucky to have this gem in Aberdeenshire. Thankyou Lyle and all the crew. 🙏💕

Well there's just over a week left so it's time to book! Try canoeing, kayaking and/or paddleboarding on our Paddlesports Sessions or paddleboarding on our Paddleboarding Session and SUP 'n' Splash!

Our Explore Donmouth tours never fail to deliver...

Sharing this environment with family or friends in canoe, kayak or paddleboard is a beautiful way to spend an evening.

We still have a month of evening tours left and there's also day time options too.

A busy day for us with almost 40 down from Subsea7 on their annual staff family paddle down at the loch. We also had lots of people down for our public loch sessions and Lyle headed down to Donmouth for a lovely tour.

All finished just in time to take a seat at Pittodrie.

Our adventures don't end at the loch, last weekend this group joined us for our Introduction to Sea Kayaking weekend. While the wind kept them to the loch to develop their technical skills on the Saturday, perfect conditions lined up for Sunday where they paddled past some local landmarks and spotted a few finned friends!

If you fancy exploring our coastline by kayak out next Introduction to Sea Kayaking is on the 29th and 30th of August!
