Out you go
Activities
Venture into a landscape of invigorating possibilities, from the shores of the crystal-clear sea loch to the windswept hillsides of the estate. From e-biking to deer stalking to stargazing, you can choose expert-led expeditions or simply go with the flow and write your own adventure.
Fishing
Fish trout and salmon from the comfort of our hand-built loch-side hut, with a log burner to stave off the chill. At day’s end, return to the lodge to feast on your hard-won catch.
eFoil
Rise above the water on an eFoil board, skimming the air above the loch’s surface as the land falls away. A quiet thrill, just steps from the front door.
Jet skis
Jet skis are your ticket to an adrenaline-fuelled sweep of Lewis’s wild coast. Open the throttle, slice across the water and lose yourself in the moment.
Kayaks and paddleboarding
Perfect for staying closer to home and pottering on the water, whether that’s drifting along the shore or adventuring into ancient coves. Wetsuits are on hand.
Private boats
Climb aboard Arksen 30 and Merry Fisher to explore the endless hidden coves and beaches, or simply cast your eyes wide for a sight of eagles, dolphins, and other vibrant Hebridean wildlife.
Spear fishing
Slip into the clear waters, poised and focused. Spearfishing here is primal and exhilarating, offering a rare, elemental connection with the sea.
Scubadiving and snorkelling
Descend beneath Atlantic swells into kelp forests and reefs. Scuba diving in these pure waters reveals a secret world, teeming with life.
Lobster Potting
Lower pots into the tidal waters, then haul up a feast. A simple, age-old ritual that ties you directly to the island’s bounty.
Surfing
Make the short trip to local beaches and you're rewarded with some of Scotland’s most remote and scenic surfing spots – all mercifully free from crowds.
Private yoga classes
Stretch, strengthen, and steady your breath with a private yoga or Pilates class in the gym. Go as gentle or challenging as you wish.

Painting workshops
Let the island’s wild beauty guide your brush in a painting workshop, where endless horizons, heathered hills and restless skies are your subject.
Stargazing
There's nothing to pollute the beauty of the star-scattered skies above SCALISCRO, so spend an evening on a picnic blanket looking to the heavens. Just add a bottle of wine.
Stalking
Step softly across moor and hill, guided by an expert eye. Stalking is patience and awareness rewarded by the raw thrill of the chase.
