Join us to explore the Jersey Tidal Trail. Our intermediate sea kayak courses are for you if you already have some kayaking experience.

Sea kayaks and equipment are included in our prices. We have a large fleet of Sit-on-Top and sit-inside sea kayak designs (Ocean Kayak, RTM, Valley, P&H) plus high-performance Rockpool Tarans, Tiderace Pace 17’s and Epic surf-skis.

Jersey Tidal Trail -5 Days (Intermediate)

Come and explore Jersey, the island of the tides. Over five days, you’ll discover a coastline that’s always changing.

When the sea goes out, Jersey almost doubles in size. This reveals new scenery and landmarks, each with its own dramatic story and history.

Join our experienced local guides on the Jersey Tidal Trail. Discover hidden caves, quiet coves and the history and marine life of Jersey.

Each day, we set out from a new spot so you can see what’s around every headland and watch the coastline change with the tides. Our expert local staff will guide you through different conditions and share stories about the area’s history and wildlife.

You should have some kayaking experience and be able to paddle 5 to 8 miles or more each day. The course also welcomes less experienced paddlers who want to improve quickly over a few days. You’ll need to be fit, eager to learn new skills, and ready for some challenging conditions. If you’re not quite ready for the intermediate level, we may move you to another trip to make sure everyone has a good experience.

All equipment is included in the price, and you can choose between a sit-on-top or a sit-inside sea kayak. If you bring your own kayak and gear, there is a discount.

There is also the opportunity to be assessed for the British Canoeing Explore or British Canoeing Sea Kayak Award, or add the Coastal Navigation & Tidal Planning course as an extra day.

Tune up your sea kayak skills

Often, paddlers find they learned skills when they first started paddling, but have not had the opportunity to revisit and refine them. During this course, we’ll look at ways you can implement techniques in various sea states and environments to make you more confident afloat.

The course is limited to no more than four paddlers, so you get plenty of coaching and advice. There is also an opportunity for video analysis. Before the course, you’ll be asked to identify the areas you want to develop. The aim is for you to leave with new tools and knowledge to further your development as a competent sea kayaker.

Expect to paddle in a range of sea states and environments, so you’ll get the opportunity to transfer skills into real situations and practice linking your paddle techniques more effectively.

There is also the opportunity to be assessed for the Explore or Sea Kayak Award, or add the Navigation course modules as an extra day.

All equipment (you can select a sit-on-top sea touring kayak or a sit-inside sea kayak) is included in the price.

It’s also possible to book training days if you cannot attend the listed dates.

2025 Dates. Please visit our online booking page for dates and prices.
