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.

Conor broke from a short holiday of his own to catch the glorious weather and treat us to a wonderful afternoon on the water.
His generosity didn’t stop there as he guided us around the craggy coastline, offering useful hints to help our novice kayaking status, local information about the geography of the loch, and even prepared tea and biscuits on a secluded and beautiful beach. With a seal taking particular interest in our activities, we truly felt at one with nature.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Conor/Ewe Canoe to any prospective party, not only is he a thoroughly nice chap, you also know you’re in the hands of a very capable professional, regardless of your expertise level.
We’ll definitely be back, and thanks again Conor.

Absolutely fab afternoon with Connor and the seals, paddling about in Gairloch bay.
Highly recommend EweCanoe - great instruction and kit, fab route and bonus hot chocolate and biscuit stop. Book early so you don’t miss out and have an awesome time!

Fantastic fun on the water despite being October, we lucked out with the one good day of the week. Conor helped prepare us for the cold so we enjoyed the flat calm conditions, saw a seal or two, so we all had great paddle.

Can't recommend highly enough for a fabulous day out. We were so lucky with a window in the weather and were treated to a guided day's kayaking along the shore, past our holiday cottage at Badachro. The sun shone and we visited some lovely coves and Conor shared his vast wealth of knowledge and stories about the local area interspersed with his unique sense of humour, all making for a really lovely trip.
A memorable day and wonderful scenery. And thanks for the photos, a super momento for us.
Best wishes and we will definitely seek you out if this far up north again. 😊

We had a great afternoon around gairloch harbour with my 2 boys 5&6 yrs old, my wife and myself.
My eldest has special needs which Conor was great about and chose the equipment to suit, all the games we played on the water he made inclusive for all, and made it fun and educational for the kids and adults, hot chocolate and biscuits halfway round was a lovey touch.
Fantastic experience and highly recommend

We had a wonderful morning Kayak with Conor from Gairloch harbour.
We had a quick lesson in the basics before setting off to explore the bay. Conor kept everything at our pace and there was no rush or pressure.
Stopped for a cuppa and a leg stretch which is always a bonus before heading back.
We would absolutely head out with Conor again if ever in the area.

What a great time we had. A fabulous experience all round and so much fun. We were complete beginners and Conor showed us the ropes and ensured we had a brilliant time. A hot cuppa on the rocks in the pouring rain only added to the experience. We couldn’t recommend Conor and Ewe Canoe highly enough. It’s a must for anyone visiting this way. Definitely worth doing.

Me, my wife and kids 14,14, 17 had a super time out on the water with Ewe Canoe. Coner had a wide choice of quality boats to suit our wishes. He checked out our experience and once on the water gave us tuition to match. Comedic from the start I can see why Coner cuts it as a scout leader. Good fun was had all round. Games, hot chocolate, seaweed and seals at a respectful distance. Pity about the lack of Red Squirrels. I'm sure they should have been swimming alongside us.

Hello, sorry I've only just seen your message. Normally the best thing to do is send me an email with details about your group and when you'll be in the area. Then near the time, when we'll have a better idea what the weather is doing, we can arrange when and where we paddle.
How does that sound?
Thanks, Conor.
