Outdoor Explore

Will you join us this weekend?
We are running superb guided kayak tours in Perth this weekend. Saturday afternoon and evening, and Sunday morning and afternoon.
Spaces are still available, so get in touch for details!

This is Scotland. Kayaking life ain't so bad, relaxing on the island, in the middle of the Tay Estuary, looking towards the Sunny Dundee (occasionally today) waving to people 'stuck' on trains going over the Tay. Not a bad day so far...

Late September & October - time to explore the West Coast again...

It was a crazy weekend behind; wind, rain, sun, (classic really in Scotland) with encounters of ospreys, kingfishers, and beavers next to our kayaks, exploring Loch Tummel, River Tay in Perth and in Dunkeld, River Isla and Clunie Loch...
Time to start another adventures week then :)

Another lovely afternoon exploring Loch Faskally near Pitlochry. So green, so peaceful, until the jet fighter passed us by at least :)

Sunset kayaking at Clunie Loch, what's not to like...

This was our shuttle car on our River Isla guided kayak tour! How awesome is that...

Captured yesterday, on the way to Dunkeld. Awesome summer continues...

Venturing near Aberfeldy, the Tay Country.

It's time to CELEBRATE, Outdoor Explore is turning FOUR this week! :)
Starting this wee company, sharing the best aspects of kayaking, hoping to inspire others, allowing people of all ages, fitness and experience level to try paddle sport so they can see some amazing places was my main aim.
... This ethos still didn't change ever since. Now I am supported by an awesome team of guides, not only for paddling but also hiking, cycling, swimming, climbing...
Loving it!
Thank you all for joining us folks, trusting us, giving us a chance, instead of using some other big companies out there. Nearly 5000 people inspired in 4 years time - happy days.
Looking after the environment we explore admire the heritage, volunteering our time and resources to conservation projects and educating people is what we do every day but not people know it.
This year alone we have guided 350 trips already, yes we are open all year round! Bespoke adventures with small groups are what we do. Sunset paddling, winter trips, star gazing - all it's coming in the autumn and winter...
So we have put two very unique products, even if you tried our services already, next week, a half-day trip in Perth, kayaking or a full day trip on Loch Tummel (with a picnic on an ancient island provided). Join us. Check more details on our blog or email us directly; info@outdoorexplore.co.uk

No plans for Sunday morning, how about some kayaking...?

Get more skilled in canoeing and kayaking, a two-day course in Perth this Monday & Tuesday. If this is not working for you, get in touch, we can arrange a bespoke event just for you...

Stressful day behind? Go canoeing, explore Scotland.
A quick visit to the Linn of Tummel, Loch Faskally yesterday. Despite the middle of the summer, nobody around, amazing...

Love this castle, amazing kayaking out there. Broughty Ferry near Dundee, seen this morning.

Nature, love it...

A great day out, exploring the Heart of Scotland, kayaking down Loch Tummel.

Summer trip anyone?

Sunset kayaking is BACK! :) Yesterday's trip on the River Tay, from Kenmore (Loch Tay) to Aberfeldy was stunning. Even an osprey and a kit (baby beaver) came to pass our boats really, really close...
Love kayaking in such amazing locations.
... Book a trip starting at 18.00 between now and mid-September, enjoy sunset whilst kayaking...

This is Perthshire, a family-friendly destination.
I think our contribution to the film was well captured, what do you think? :)

Wonderful experience, highly recommended to anyone. We saw a variety of wildlife whilst always feelings safe but still getting a sense of adventure.

We had a totally brilliant time with Piotr as our instructor, guide and a close companion during our two days of paddling on Loch Ness in late April. He's extremely friendly, helpful and professional; a true gem and a person you can rely on. We will be very happy to come back to Scotland and use his services again, I recommend him to all you outdoor activities lovers out there

We had a great time with Piotr, learning core sea kayak skills at Broughty Ferry. A 2.5 hour lesson is idea for learning the basics, gradually pushing limits and covering a fair bit of geographical distance. By the end, we had learned a lot about reading water, riding out wakes, manoeuvring seaworthy boats and--the key detail--we had a great time. Some introductory courses are prohibitively long and expensive, but this was an ideal taster. We know we're not experts yet, but by the end of that session we had acquired a lot of confidence, and the whole experience was a joy.

We had a brilliant morning kayaking - our first time ever. Piotr was a wonderful guide and we saw so much and loved every second. We would absolutely recommend it and will be back!

Totally amazing experience with Piotr today exploring the wonderful waters off Broughty Ferry beach in glorious sunshine. Piotr made it interesting, fun and relaxing - we will definitely be booking another trip! If you're thinking of trying out a tour, don't hesitate! Book today, you will love it!

Really enjoyed our adventures on Loch Clunie today- a real gem that we drive past regularly. All the kit we needed was provided: great and responsive communications before your experience. Highly recommended.

My friend Wendy & I had the most amazing trip up the mighty river Tay with Piotr. Spotted signs of beaver activity (but sadly didn't see any of the little critters), lots of birds and amazing scenery. Had a wonderfully relaxing couple of hours in the safe hands of Piotr, who shares his knowledge, expertise and love of all things water-based with genuine passion and commitment. Would heartily recommend one of Piotr's trips - and look forward to my next expedition.

James (aged 8) had a lovely winters afternoon on your climbing wall - he can't wait to come back! Thank you!

I had an great time with my family (6 of us), kayaking though Perth. Peter was a great instructor and it was great to see Perth from the water. We all had a great time. Thank you!

Had an amazing first experience kayaking with my family and Piotr at Loch Faskally . Piotr was a great knowledgeable instructor who put my mind at ease instantly . Would highly recommend this to any of my family and friends and i'm looking forward to my next adventure on the water !!! ��

Had a fantastic evening kayaking on the Tay, great fun for adults and kids.

Going with Outdoor Explore is a great experience. Piotr caters for as many as possible. Whether you want to kayak, canoe, shoot an arrow from a bow, do a spot of indoor climbing or take on parts of the 64 mile circular Cateran Trail or other walks in Cateran Country, then look no further, just pick up the phone or book online.

Fantastic trip at Loch Faskally with some of Alyth and District Pipe Band, we all thoroughly enjoyed it and are already talking about a follow up trip.

Fantastic sunset trip on Clunie Loch on Saturday with Piotr! His knowledge of the area is phenomenal and the Loch was so beautiful and calm! Piotr was great with the kids and the kayaks were very stable. If you want a kayak trip, Piotr is your man! �

Excellent tours and wonderful local knowledge of history and wildlife. Highly recommend

Been on 2 trips with Piotr recently. The rivers Tay & Isla. Both trips fantastic, relaxing, informative & fun. Would highly recommend that you give it a go

Another great trip with you guys! See you next time!

An absolutely awesome morning on my 1st Kayak adventure. Piotr is a fantastic instructor, as I was a bit apprehensive to start. Kayaked on the river Tay, seeing a completely different view of Perth. Saw a kingfisher and heron. I would definitely recommend Kayaking with Piotr, can't wait until my next kayaking adventure

Amazing experience and paddling not as hard as I thought it would be. Incredible sights to see in the heart of Perthshire, I would definitely recommend doing this trip.
