Climb Ride Explore is an outdoor guiding company based in Gairloch, Scotland, offering guided adventures across Torridon and the Wester Ross coast. The company runs a range of land- and water-based experiences: mountain guiding and mountain bike guiding (both full-day 7.5-hour excursions), rock climbing on 3 billion‑year‑old rock, full-day advanced canyoning on routes such as Pharaohs and Dundonnel, half‑day canyoning suitable for ages 12 and up, coasteering and extreme coasteering around World War 2 Loch Ewe battlements, archery sessions led by a qualified instructor, and stand up paddleboarding with over a decade of teaching experience plus full-day SUP rental including wetsuits, boards, and paddles.
Guiding emphasizes small-group formats and local knowledge to deliver tailored routes, safety-focused instruction, and flexible pacing. Mountain guiding and mountain bike guiding remove route-planning stress by pairing participants with experienced local guides; the mountain bike tours are led by local expert Charlie. Rock climbing sessions accommodate all skill levels and can focus on sport climbing, top roping, or progressing to lead climbing. Canyoning options range from introductory four-hour trips to advanced full-day descents with technical abseils and jumps. Coasteering and extreme coasteering expose participants to sheltered coves, sea caves, and historic coastal features.
Climb Ride Explore provides required equipment for rental SUPs and instructs using industry-relevant safety practices. Booking options suit families, groups, and experienced adventurers seeking guided exploration in one of Scotland’s most dramatic coastal and mountain landscapes. Equipment is maintained to industry standards and instructors prioritise clear briefings before every activity for participants' safety.
