Argyll Kayaks Midwest Sea Kayak Symposium

Friday 3 May (registration) to Monday 6 May 2024

Argyll Kayaks are delighted to be running the 2024 Mid West Sea Kayak Symposium:
the sea kayak symposium with a difference!

The Knapdale village of Tayvallich is the fantastic setting for our 3 day symposium for novice and improver sea kayakers. With a real focus on providing quality kayak coaching sessions in the right conditions for learning, we have one coach to every six participants and a maximum of 36 participants. You'll have a much more personal experience than at other symposiums.

2024 Symposium

This year's symposium will offer a wide choice of practical sea kayak sessions over 3 days, giving you the chance to improve your paddling technique, increase your paddling confidence or tackle a new aspect of boat handling... ...and to thoroughly enjoy the weekend making new friends!

How to book

The 2024 Symposium is now fully booked - we do however have a reserve list so get in touch if you'd like your name added to that.

Advance booking is required. The three day Symposium fee is £210 per person - a £50 deposit secures your place with the balance payable by 1st February.
To secure your place, download, complete and return the booking form - places are on a first come first served basis.
