Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I booked a Kayak experience at a beautiful location for myself and friends, and it was a great time, from beginners to advanced we all felt included. Piotr led the session and he was awesome, taught us lots of great bits of information about Scotland as well as many tips on how to improve at Kayaking. I would 100% recommend this to anyone deciding which company to go with.

My son says it would have been easier with no kayaking - but I can't agree. It couldn't have been any easier. Fantastic location into endless and stunning Stonehaven cliff caves, great planning and guidance, perfect calm weather and a lovely group to paddle with. We all, including lazy son, loved it. Thank you Piotr for another great day out with lots of memories formed. Why people say there is nothing to see on the East Coast is beyond me.

What a pleasurable experience even in the burst of pouring rain. The instructor was so reassuring and enthusiastic not only about Kayaking but anything within the vicinity. For people that want to open themselves up to getting outdoors and experiencing being on the water I defy anyone not to be hungry for more of the outdoor. We shall most definitely be joining future ventures. We can’t wait to go again. 👏🏻👍🏻

We had a very enjoyable kayak trip at Loch Faskally.
Our guide Gordon was very pleasant and informative and despite us all being beginners, we had an easy and peaceful experience.

Excellent. Just excellent. Piotr led our mixed-experience group of paddlers on Loch Faskally, and we were quickly at ease in equipment provided by Outdoor Explore. Piotr's knowledge and stories of the area were fascinating and plentiful; his quiet care and attention to our safety and paddling was appreciated. Really, a super-nice guy, and a super-nice unrushed trip that I could not recommend more highly.

I have done a couple of trips now with Outdoor Explore and both have been hugely enjoyable. One was a gentle paddle on the River Isla with lots of bird life to see and peace in all directions. The other was on the River Tay at Broughty Ferry which is a great way to see the place from a different angle. Piotr is an excellent instructor, he takes the time to get you comfortable in the kayak before setting off and is patient with those, like myself, who have little experience. As for his guide skills, he knows his stuff on local history and sights and I learned some new things despite living in the area for 25 years. Will definitely be booking again as there is a wide selection of different tours and the experience overall is excellent!

Although aged 70, I was an enthusiastic but complete kayaking novice who turned up for the Faskally kayaking experience.
Fair to say I could not have been in safer hands than the experienced Piotr.
Not only was this a great fun afternoon but thanks to Piotr's wealth of knowledge about the history, geography and nature around the loch, also a fascinating learning experience. Additionally I learned a great deal, openly shared by Piotr, should I develop towards owning my own kayak.
I would highly recommend one of Piotr's escorted trips - great fun and great value.

We had a great experience with Piotr on Loch Faskally. Piotr was fantastic. Not only that, but he took pictures for us on the water. He also taught us some paddling techniques and I thought I was experienced. The Loch was beautiful. We went from good weather to pouring rain to good weather in an hour. Scotland for you! I would highly recommend these guys.
