Hi, I just visited barrasurfadventures.co.uk and wondered if you'd ever thought about having an engaging video to explain what you do? Our videos cost just $195 for a 30 second video ($239 for 60 seconds) and include a full script, voice-over and video. I can show you some previous videos we've done if you want me to send some over. Let me know if you're interested in seeing samples of our previous work. Regards, Joanna 5/5

My friend Colin and I were first time Kayakers under instruction from Ben. We were staying in the hostel next door to the surf school and saw Ben around and he is the sort of guy that inspires confidence. So after some helpful do’s and don’ts we were ready to push off. Me being supremely confident immediately capsized after completely ignoring all Bens wise words. No harm done though and I was still warm thanks to the drysuits provided. So back in the kayak for a wonderful three hour trip with lots to see including some curious seals. Unfortunately I could not see too much as I had lost my glasses to somewhere on the sea bed when I went for the unplanned swim. After we got back to the jetty with huge smiles on our faces Ben got his snorkelling gear and went to see if he could retrieve my glasses remembering where I gone in. I was grateful for the effort but had resigned myself to being half blind for the rest of our trip. However Ben had other ideas and ten minutes later after a few dives ta da!!! Spectacles recovered!!! So this is a public thank you Ben for an amazing experience and restoring my sight. I should also say Barra is a small place and we did bump into Ben on our travels and you won’t meet a nicer guy. So if you are reading this never having kayaked before and are hesitant then my advice would be go for it, your in the very best hands for a memory you will never forget. 5/5

We opted for the sit on top Kayak excursion around Castlebay. We thoroughly enjoyed our session with Callum, helped by wonderful weather. As it was the end of session, the times were rejigged to get a group together but fortunately the only other things in our diary we gawping at the beaches and waiting for sheep to cross the road. Callum provided all the kit, gave us a quick intro and requisite safety briefing and set us off around the bay. I don't consider myself outdoorsy and this is the closest I get to water sports so the sit-on-top Kayaks are perfect and really easy to potter around in. In was amazing to see the bay and surrounds from the water, Callum filled us in on the local wildlife and landscape and did a great job keeping an eye on the group, I felt very safe. Thanks for a great morning. 5/5
