Argyll Voyageur Canoes

Using canoes as a means of transport is one of the oldest ways of transporting oneself and others of the history of humankind. The first explorers and fur traders of Canada used canoes as transportation, developing their design to be able to travel to far away areas. Nowadays modern canoes still keep the same useful and dynamic design, with the difference that today their materials are cutting-edge.

Besides, canoes are undoubtedly one of the most eco-friendly and respectful vehicles towards nature! It is also a relaxing way of exploring a water area because it neither uses any engine that pollutes water and air to move it nor disturbs animals near the canoe.

Providing great deal of fresh air and plenty of healthy exercise, paddling is a rewarding experience! In our canoe trips we can watch beautiful and peaceful animals such as a seal colony that lives in Loch Goil, marvelous gannets and other types of birds, not to forget the stunning marine inhabitants that live right under us!

Our trips take place in a breathtaking framework, the Loch Goil and the near town of Lochgoilhead, both outstanding and remarkable places where you will breathe peace. Canoe trips take from 2 hours up to a full day and are suitable for younger paddlers as well as for seniors.  Bespoke tours are also available at customer’s request.

The place at our canoe can be booked by the seat, per family, for Stag & Hen parties, corporate groups, etc. Everyone is dearly welcome! Experience what is like paddling a canoe with your own eyes, arms and soul!

The word canoe literally means “dugout” which translates as a safe and snug place to take shelter. That is exactly what we offer, a comfortable and nice experience between you, a lake and a canoe.

You can enjoy a pleasant time paddling a canoe in a heart-stopping framework simply surrounded by wildlife and nature. We are situated in Loch Goil, next to Lochgoilhead, a small town of just 500 people.

Having a privileged position, our customers can enjoy the silence of a peaceful location to navigate their canoes, and luckily to observe a colony of seals that live near the lake.

Our trips are appropriate for everyone, from children to adults, from absolute beginners to seasoned veterans, catering also for team building groups, celebrations, Stag & Hen parties and so on. We have a place for you in our swift canoes! Previous experience is not a must, people that want to enjoy themselves is!

Safety equipment such as buoyancy aids, vests and the like will be provided by our professional guides, who have over 30 years of experience.

If you want to see the stunning scenery and fabulous wildlife that surrounds us on one of the oldest means of transport men have ever created, do not hold up and join us at Loch Goil!
