The Outer Hebrides (also known as Western Isles) is an archipelago of islands lying 30 miles off the north-west coast of Scotland. The capital of the Islands is Stornoway, on Lewis, and the population of the chain is some 27,000.

Canoe Hebrides can offer a great array of outdoor activities for visitors to these magnificent islands where you can also experience some truly fantastic scenery, wildlife and a warm island welcome.

What we do best:

Kiting is exciting sport and the huge beaches and big breezes of the Outer Hebrides makes this a must-do activity when you're here. Canoe Hebrides, with qualified instructors, can provide instruction and supply all equipment to teach clients the best way to have fun flying a power kite, so if you would like to try it, contact Tim at Canoe Hebrides.
