A stunningly beautiful experience in an incredible location! The team were unbelievably kind in opening up earlier to accommodate the fact that we had to travel back to Fort William the same morning. I would highly recommend Rugged Coast!

From our first impressions arriving in the beautiful surrounds of The Rugged Coast We were met by smiles before we were even in the door that put our slightly apprehensive minds at ease! We were able to walk in but there is also the option. To book ahead online in advance. The lovely member of staff was professional, knowledgeable and so comforting (which helps alot as I do have anxiety). Safety briefs and we filled in the paperwork (on our own phones but they do have a tablet to use if you don't have your own device) Our guide already had the best idea of sizes for our wetsuits and shoes based on her experience. As someone who was almost 8 stone heavier last year (and not fit enough to try kayaking again at that point) there was no awkward discussion about sizes. Instead of how warm we would like to be using a winter style suit or summer style. It was a beautiful warm day in glencoe that day with a lovely breeze which picked up and dropped once we were on the water. We chose to kayak but there are a number of services offered here such as paddleboarding, kayaking and tandem kayaks and bikes to hire. Self guided or guided tours also avaliable. A gentle slope down to the water where you can launch from we were soon on the water. The kayaks were very sturdy and clean. We were given advice on how to see the islands and the history of the area which is really impressive including hosting a very old grave yard you can dock up and explore. We spent 2 glorious hours on the water facing differing water and wind conditions but all of which were fun and exhilarating. This has been my favourite day out in years and although I hadn't kayaked in a very long time I took to it like a duck to water again and this has truely enriched my sense of self, confidence and abilities on the water. Thank you so much Rugged Coast Glencoe. 5 STARS Highly recommend and cannot wait to visit again soon! Thanks so much for making my 35th birthday a magnificent day for myself and my husband x

A superb experience at Rugged Coast Glencoe hiring their kayaks. Keren and Sian were friendly and helpful, making getting geared up seamless and then pointed out some suggestions as to where to head on Loch Leven, meaning we saw a pod of seals up close. After the experience Keren went out of her way to be helpful. My first stop when I'm back in Glencoe.

Rented inflatable kayaks for a couple of hours. Seamless process and more than reasonable in terms of price. Will definitely use again when in the area. The staff we came across were super helpful and knowledgeable, cannot fault.

Had an absolute fantastic time, Sian was amazingly patient and made everything really clear and simple to understand. In no time at all due to Sian's guidance we were out, exploring islands and the fantastic weather! The 2 hours flew past...we enjoyed the experience so much...we will definitely be back and cannot recommend Sian and Rugged Coast enough. Thank you for such a memorable experience.

What a great day! My husband and I had a paddle boarding lesson with Sian @ Rugged Coastline, and it was just phenomenal. Such a beautiful setting, and Sian was a very patient and knowledgeable instructor. Would highly recommend a trip to Glencoe for water sports & activities with these guys.

We had a fantastic experience hiring kayaks and exploring the loch and islands. The scenery is stunning and we felt like we had the loch to ourselves. We were even fortunate enough to see a seal! I fully recommend.
