Loch Lomond Leisure
Paddle across the serene waters of Loch Lomond with a flexible canoe hire from Loch Lomond Leisure. Perfect for all ages and skill levels, it’s a great way to enjoy Scotland’s iconic lake.
Loch Lomond Leisure operates from Balloch (Loch Lomond Shores) with activities also based at Luss Activity Hub and Luss Beach. The business offers a broad selection of hire options including mountain bikes with child and toddler trailer attachments, paddleboards (including giant SUPs for groups), canoes, kayaks, rowing boats, pedal boats, katakanus and self-drive motorboats for up to four people.
Safety is an integral part of every hire: customers receive safety briefings, helmets and relevant safety gear for cycling and water activities. Trained staff provide personalized guidance for canoe and paddleboard hires and conduct brief inductions for self-drive motorboats. Several hires explicitly allow dogs, making many options suitable for pet owners.
Hire durations range from short periods to extended multi-day options for mountain bikes, with choices such as 2 hour, 4 hour, 8 hour, half day, full day and multi-day hires (16, 24, 48 and 72 hours). Motorboat hires are available year-round after a brief safety induction.
Loch Lomond Leisure caters to families, friends and corporate groups seeking outdoor experiences on Loch Lomond. The business provides flexible hire choices across two convenient locations on the loch, combining scenic access with practical equipment and on-site support.
