We are based at Bridge-End Outdoor Centre in Burra Isle, from where we run half-day and evening trips, and also set out for day trips at a variety of locations throughout these beautiful islands. Self-catering accommodation packages are available and also extended camping trips in Shetland?s remote North Mainland and north isles.

What we do best:

We offer the chance to explore Shetland?s fabulous coastline, sheltered voes, remote islands and abundant wildlife in peace and tranquility from a sea kayak. Round almost every corner is a cave or a secluded beach, a natural arch or a towering sea stack. On the way we are sure to see seals and seabirds in abundance. On occasion we may also spot whales, porpoises, dolphins and otters.
