Information center
Located in Leverburgh on the Isle of Harris, Western Isles Scotland, the outdoor company is in a prime location. Situated next to the ferry slip (connection: Harris to North Uist) and the harbour/marina the office looks out over the beautiful 'Sound of Harris'. With it's many island and plentiful wildlife 'the Sound' is one of the most interesting and diverse waters around the UK and right on the doorstep of the company.
Sea kayaking , canoe and power or sailing boat trips can be arranged all around the coast of Harris, that changes dramatically from one site to the next. There are plenty of sheltered waters to be found for most wind conditions and dozens of islands to visit. There is a place here for the full range of skill levels. The Islands have been featured in nature and travel programes and the tourism number has increased as well as clientele.
The land is very diverse in landscape as well. Mountains to the North, Sea-lochs and bays to the East, the Sound of Harris on the South and stunning beaches on the West coast.

The surroundings are natures gemstone with an interesting cultural and archaeological history. There are SSSI (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) all around. The RNLI opened an all weather lifeboat station 3 years ago (100 meters from company), providing safety and security. Please feel free to contact us for any other information.
We are located in the center of the island chain on the South side of the main island of Lewis and Harris. The company is right opposite of the ferry terminal where lots of people come from to ask for information, outdoor gear, bike repair and what to see and do when on the island.
For more pictures of what we have done please have a look at our facebook page: Harris Outdoor Adventure and for customer feedback have a look at our tripadvisor reviews. For serious parties the books can be looked into as well.
We would also consider an offer on just the building and the plots (i.e. without outdoor equiptment).
