Who are our tours suitable for?

Our sea kayak tours are suitable for adults and families who want to explore our magnificent coastline and wildlife.

Anyone who enjoys being in the outdoors and on the sea.

No previous experience is needed. Our expert staff and user-friendly sit-on-top kayaks will give you the confidence to have fun afloat as you explore the coastline.

Our sit-on-top sea kayaks are stable. However, this is a water sport, and you might fall in, so expect to get wet. We supply wetsuits from child to XXL (ladies sizes 8-18), windproof jackets, and all safety kit.

Unlike sit-inside kayaks, there is no need to worry about capsize drills and “wet exits”. If you request a sit-inside kayak, you must have previously used a spray deck and have done a wet exit with a spray deck. Please note: We do not take paddlers afloat in a sit-inside kayak without a spray deck.

Expect to get wet, so do not take cameras, mobile phones, car keys, etc. on the tour unless you are sure they are fully waterproof. If in doubt, you can leave them in our vehicle.

Our departure points

We pay close attention to the wind and swell forecasts. As a result, we will only kayak some coastlines if the conditions are suitable. Experienced paddlers or those wanting to explore cliffs and caves which may be prone to swell (providing the forecasts are suitable) should contact us to arrange a private tour.

The venue and meeting point are confirmed -to those booked- by text the evening before once we have checked the weather forecasts, so you kayak in a good location.

We live in a maritime climate; rainy weather doesn’t stop us from exploring by kayak. We supply wetsuits and cagoules.

Fitness

Kayaking is an active sport and involves physical effort. You should be of average fitness and in good health. Please contact us before booking if you find it difficult to sit upright for any length of time. As a rough guide, if you drive your car with a very reclined seat, you may find sitting on the kayaks arduous, even with back support. A way to check if you will be okay is to sit on the floor with your legs in front of you and maintain an upright posture.

In the event of a capsize, you need to be able to get back on board with assistance. This is like climbing out from the side of a swimming pool by pulling/sliding yourself onto the poolside (without pushing off the bottom of the pool with your feet). If this is difficult for you or a party member, please contact us before you book.

Heights and weights

For your enjoyment and safety, help us ensure we have the correct sizes of kit and kayaks available by telling us your clothing size when you book. We may not have the right equipment for your trip if we do not have this information.
If you weigh over 15.2 stone (96kg) or have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 33+, you must tell us your height and weight (use the additional information section). Sometimes, we may suggest we meet in advance to try out the kayak and re-entry techniques. Calculate your BMI.
