Outdoor Activities on Arran

Leisure time is precious to us all. If you are looking for ideas on how to spend your outdoor leisure time, Arran has plenty to offer whether visiting for a day staying longer.

The island is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts with outstanding wildlife, flora, fauna, geology, archaeology and history, all packaged in a compact and accessible destination which is a mere 56 miles in circumference.  Why not consider geocaching?  A great way to find out more about the island! Travel distances are short and in most instances, a drive of 30 minutes or less is all that’s required to reach your destination for the day’s activities.

There is a wide range of outdoor adventure sports available on Arran – with something to suit every level of experience. A kayak tour offers great thrills and may be a unique way to get close to marine wildlife such as seals, sharks, whales and dolphins. How about the ultimate freshwater adventure, letting you experience the rush of abseiling over a waterfall, or gorgewalking? From sea to sky - check out paragliding, and see our beautiful island from the air! 

Or try some different adventures such as all-year round open air ice skating, or jumping off a 30' pole! Other outdoor activities include gorge scrambling, mountain biking, archery, climbing, sailing, canoeing, paragliding and orienteering or maybe you can experience your own MOGABOUT Arran Safari

Walkers will love the diversity of the landscape, glens, coastal walks, areas of natural beauty and forestry paths and trails.  Check out Arran Walking.

Whatever your interest, be it a game of tennis, putting, crazy golf, bowling, football, rugby, cricket,  fishing, horseriding, or golf, you'll find it on Arran – with qualified professionals on hand to make your activity as enjoyable as possible!
