Loch Lomond Water Sports (run by Loch Lomond Leisure) offers family-friendly kayak, canoe and stand-up paddleboard (SUP) hire on Loch Lomond from Loch Lomond Shores in Balloch, plus guided tours and beginners' lessons with BCU-qualified staff.
Hire prices (per kayak/canoe/boat unless stated): kayaks from £35 for 1 hour (single) or £45 (twin), canoes from £45 for 1 hour (each canoe seats 3 adults or 2 adults + 2 children), SUP from £30 per person for 1 hour. Wetsuits are available to hire for around £5–£6 per person; buoyancy aids are supplied and compulsory. Every participant receives a safety induction and basic training before heading out.
The venue describes paddling here as suitable for all ages and abilities, making it a popular choice for family days out. Other activities on offer include pedal boats, rowing boats, bike hire and speedboat trips.
Watersports operate seasonally (roughly March–October, weather dependent) and hire slots must be pre-booked — arrive around 30 minutes before your start time. The main meeting point is at Loch Lomond Shores, Balloch (G83 8QL), with additional launch points at Luss Pier and Luss Beach.
Kayaking, canoeing and SUP available March–October; closed during the winter months. Weather dependent.
