Travel to the Isle of Tiree for a women-only weekend combining paddleboarding, hikes, yoga, swimming, and beachside evenings. This 3-night trip is designed to reconnect with nature, embrace outdoor activity, and share time with a small, supportive group. Participants follow a flexible, adventure-focused itinerary that suits all levels and encourages connection and confidence.
Each day begins with optional sunrise paddleboarding sessions on calm waters, allowing participants to warm up and build confidence on the SUP boards. Guided lessons cover balance, paddling technique, and safe water practice, while more experienced paddlers can enjoy optional light surfing when conditions allow.
Afternoon activities include walks along beaches and coastal paths, yoga sessions for stretching and mindfulness, and swimming in safe spots along the island’s coastline. Local stops include small villages, sandy coves, and a visit to a local gin distillery. Each day is designed with flexibility, allowing participants to rest or explore independently while staying connected with the group.
Evenings are spent sharing communal dinners, relaxing around beach firepits, and watching sunsets and sunrises. Guides ensure safety and provide support for all activities, helping participants make the most of each day. The combination of activity, relaxation, and social time is balanced to leave participants refreshed and connected with both nature and the group.
The weekend begins at Broxden Park & Ride in Perth, where participants meet the guides before travelling to Oban. From there, the group crosses by ferry to Tiree, an island with open beaches, shallow waters, and wide horizons ideal for learning and practising SUP skills. The island’s calm waters and sheltered bays provide safe conditions for all skill levels.
Tiree’s environment mixes sandy beaches, small villages, and coastal paths. The local landscape allows for gentle hikes, paddleboarding, and yoga sessions while offering an authentic Scottish island experience. Its natural charm and relaxed pace make it ideal for outdoor adventure and mindful relaxation.
Accommodation includes an overnight stay in Oban before the ferry crossing and shared rooms on Tiree for the remainder of the weekend. Rooms are simple but comfortable, providing a base for rest between activities.
Communal spaces allow participants to eat together, socialise, and relax after a day of outdoor activities. Guides help with luggage, organisation, and preparing participants for each day’s schedule. Proximity to beaches and activity sites reduces travel time and maximises outdoor engagement.
No prior paddleboarding experience is required, though basic fitness is useful for walks, SUP sessions, and optional yoga. Activities are optional, and guides adapt them to individual ability and comfort.
Participants should be comfortable travelling by ferry and staying in shared accommodation. A willingness to spend time outdoors, engage with the group, and adapt to changing weather conditions will ensure a rewarding weekend.
