Hire a kayak for a half or full day on the lochs around Callander, with delivery available to popular launch points. Ideal for guests who want a more personal paddle and the freedom to explore sheltered shores at their own pace.
This is a self-guided kayak hire. After a short briefing on basic strokes, staying balanced, and what to do if you capsize, you head out with the kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid, and route advice matched to conditions and experience.
Kayaks are commonly collected from Callander or delivered to popular lochs so you can start closer to the water. Expect a personal paddle with room for shoreline exploration, photo stops, and a relaxed pace on sheltered water when the wind allows.
Dogs are not permitted on kayaks. Light rain is often fine, but strong wind or unsafe water may mean a different launch point or a rearrange. Optional water shoes, childrens wet shoes, phone cases, and dry bags can be added at checkout.
