The Outer Hebrides is beautiful beaches, turquoise sea, wild rocky cliffs, sheltered lagoons. It's a unique watersports paradise, so come and jump into an unforgettable adventure.
Barra Surf and Coastal Adventures is based on the beautiful Isle of Barra.
Surfing
The beaches of Barra and Vatersay are among the very best in the world with fabulously large and empty stretches of perfect white sands and crystal clear waters. These are blissfully uncrowded surfing beaches, which are a fantastic alternative to more well-known spots on the mainland and Inner Isles.
Sea Kayaking, Snorkel with Seals
Away from the beaches there are beautiful sheltered lagoons which are home to grey and common seals. Here in the crystal clear waters we run amazing snorkel safaris and sea kayak trips, with close encounters with seals. Our trips are suited for all ages and all abilities in beautiful locations
Coasteering
Along the west coast of Barra there are some amazing sections of high cliffs, stacks, caves and surging inlets which make an ideal arena for our adrenaline pumping activity of coasteering.
