The weather can be changeable in Scotland, so we advise you to be adequately prepared. At sea, we are much more exposed and you’ll feel much colder than on land. We advise you to bring plenty of clothes to keep you warm. Water temperature over the season ranges from 10-16 degrees and we have a range of equipment that will keep you warm. Our rental gear is of high quality and with adequate preparation you will be comfortable in the water. ### Where do you recommend to stay in Oban? Oban has been referred to as the ‘Gateway to the Isles’ as from here you can explore the Hebrides by ferry. Oban itself offers an abundance of adventure with epic hiking, great food and water sports. It can be very busy over the summer as it is a popular tourist destination so make sure to book your stay ahead of time. There are many independently owned guesthouses and B&Bs, one we would recommend is Glenroy Guesthouse. For a more luxury option you can check out The Perle. Kintaline house a very nice self catering option, 10 minute drive from marina and close to Tralee beach. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://dev.adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp-dev.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/c71236ee9a33e63ef38d2b1e8574fbdf/2024/05/438837279_415031404607061_4650213339879975214_n.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 11 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
