kushi adventures

We did kayak with Russell and his teens and lived a fantastic morning. Russell was really kind with us, he tought us the basics to avoid falling down and we could paddle for more than 3 hours through Ness River, Loch Dochfour and, finally, Loch Ness. We had a really nice conversation with him and even we taste some wild berries.Overall, it was an excellent morning!

Due to last minute planning on our part, we didn't reach out to Kushi until 9pm the night before we wanted to canoe Loch Ness. Russell, the owner, connected with us the next morning early and was more than willing to work with us despite our limiting time-frame, lack of cell-phone, and geography.With the help of his wife, we were able to put in at Loch Ness with solid equipment and make a day of it. Despite being on the river with another expedition elsewhere, Russell called and gave us a head's up on what we'd expect and gave us a mini-tour of the notable points to look out for, even though we only paid to rent the canoe and not a guided expedition.Excellent time, thanks for making it happen Kushi Adventures!

Russell really knows where to go to see the hidden parts of Scotland, from places to canoe to kayak to walk. I had a lovely afternoon canoeing down the Beauly River with him, and felt safe as well as adventurous. He knows where the interesting birds (ospreys and peregrine falcons) nest, and we were lucky enough to see an osprey. Also, another much larger bird of prey that I hope was an eagle! I would recommend getting in touch with Kushi Adventures if you want to enjoy yourself.

Russell and the team at Kushi adventures are a very experienced, safety conscious and capable outfit. Having been on a number of courses with them I would recommend them to everyone. Brilliant.

Russell was a great and flexible (we don't mean stretching!) person to rent a canoe from. He was very knowledgeable and gave great advice about canoeing the Great Glen Trail. He made things very easy for us and we would highly recommend him. Can't think of anything he could have done better. Thanks Russell!
