On the Water – Boat Trips & Sea Adventures

For adventure on the high seas, we recommend Seatrek, who operate unforgettable boat trips around the Uig coast and wider Hebrides, as far as St Kilda.

Options include:

• Wildlife-focused trips

• Family-friendly excursions

• Private charters to remote islands and sea stacks

Seatrek’s boats operate west of the Hebrides for most of the summer, accessing locations that feel truly off the beaten track.

“There are a million ways to surf, and as long as you’re smiling you’re doing it right.”

Surfing, bodyboarding and wild swimming are popular at beaches like Dalmore, Traigh Mhor and Uig, though conditions can be powerful and are best suited to experienced water users or those with local guidance.  The lads at Surf Lewis can be booked to teach you the ropes and provide equipment, if you’d like to give surfing a try safely.

Wild Swimming is hugely popular in the Hebrides and Immerse Hebrides offers a range of water activities including RIB boat trips, wild swimming and a mobile hot box/sauna.
