About this trip

Are you looking to develop your paddling skills and experience in 'moving water'? Oban is home to tidal venues including the famous Falls of Lora and Cuan Sound.

This course is suited to Intermediate paddlers wanting to develop existing tidal skills and build confidence.

  • Crossing eddylines

  • Tidal planning
