Before our holiday to Scotland I booked an outdoor activity day with Stramash for myself and my partner on the 25th April. Everything from booking the activities right through till the end of the day was fantastic! Shiralene was so helpful when I was unsure with what activities I wanted to book. In the morning we started off with Kayaking... More

I contacted Stramash to ask about kayaking. They didn't have have a kayaking session available at the time (April 19 - early in the season) but suggested canoeing. Booked up as I had never been canoeing before and....hey....lets try something new! Turned up on the morning to find I was the only person. I did say "Are you you sure... More

Hello Dona, I'm sorry we weren't able to offer your preferred choice of kayaking during your time in Oban. Our small team of five instructors, all with different skill qualifications, are often stretched to the limit as this time of year delivering activities to schools and corporate groups, in addition to our Adventure Day activities. Unfortunately we did not have... More

We visited Scotland, and decided to do some canoeing to get closer to the wildlife. We found an advert in our cottage, was not sure what to expect but decided to go for it. Best decision made and we all had a great time, saw seals, all kinds of birds and most importantly quiet and tranquility. The instructor was outstanding... More

We're delighted that you enjoyed your experience with us - we can never guarantee seeing any wildlife but it's always an added bonus when they put in an appearance. Isn't it great to wrap your hands around a mug of hot chocolate as you soak up the scenery - it's nice to know that our customers appreciate the extra treat.... More

My son first went to stramash with his school and he loved it and has since been a few times in the school holidays with the various programmes they offer! There are a wide variety of different activities available on different days, I think the gorge walking and kayaking is his favourite!! The instructors are all fantastic and I would... More

My friend and I only had a couple of days in Oban but decided to make one of them an adventure day. We decided on Stramash because they were very well reviewed and very helpful in guiding us to which activities would be best for us, since neither of us had any experience in doing this sort of thing. We... More

The Scottish summer doesn't make everyone want to jump into the sea or take a plunge into ice cold rock pools, especially if you're not familiar with getting in (or out) of a wet suit. However, our two, half day, activities with Stramash in and around Oban were simply fantastic. Our first activity was 'Canyoning' which involves working our way... More

We did the Coasteering Event which involved swimming, rock jumping and climbing along the Oban coastline. Very good fun and would recommend. If you like climbing and swimming maybe opt for the advanced coasteering as I found this quite tame, but perfect for mixed abilities. We did this as a work away day event. Equipment is all provided (wetsuits, helmets,... More
