Very friendly people. Lots of opportunities to try different forms of water sports and to get some training and fun at the same time. Tuition towards formal qualifications also available. Picturesque location adds to the experience. If you're lucky, you might choose the day when they're having a barbeque, great food and lots of cheery visitors.

I have been coming to Croabh Haven for 20 years and I thought it couldnt get much better. But now you can hire out a little kayak and see all the beautiful landscapes from on the water, that is if you don't mind sharing the view with a few friendly seals. After an hour of paddling around we were in... More

Can only echo other reviews. A real gem of a place, offering tremendous value. They couldn't have been more helpful. Despite us rocking up in the off season when they weren't expecting visitors they happily went out of their way to get us on the water. Spent a wonderful hour in beautiful setting paddling round a bay followed by six... More

Our family went kayaking for the first time on Tuesday. Great value for money at only £10 each, including wetsuits. The weather was beautiful, the loch was like glass and the best entertainment was the nosy seals - they swam around us, popping their heads out of the water to watch us. We couldn't have been closer. Our boys, aged... More

We hired 4 sit-on kayaks for an hour. The proprietors couldn't have been more helpful. Wetsuits are provided included in the price. Only £10ph. The changing rooms are inside a caravan but for next year purpose built changing rooms are being built. Out on the Loch, we were followed by four inquisitive seals. You can't get much closer to the... More

Great value for money. £10 for an hour including wetsuit hire and a quick demo so you know what you're doing! We had 4 very nosey seals following us about too. We'd definitely do it again!

Our work group had a wonderful afternoon here starting with lunch followed by fishing, sailing and canoe polo!! All were great and the polo was the most fun in my opinion! Staff were all very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Would recommend 100%.

We had a great afternoon here. The team organised a lunch and canoeing, sailing and fishing activities for our party of 20. We were well looked after and we would certainly go back again.
