Me and my 3 kids did the morning cave kayak tour and we all had an amazing time. Kireran was a fantastic guide with great knowledge about the local geology which he shared as we made our way down the coast. Would certainly recommend this unique experience!

Amazing experience!! Highly recommended. ⭐️ I did a solo kayaking for the first time. Kieran, the instructor was brilliant, very patient and taught me some good techniques. Along with exploring the landscape, caves and beaches, we got to taste some seaweeds. Thank you for the wonderful time. 🙏

My sister and I booked a coastal kayaking trip with Kieran this week and had a wonderful time. Kieran is a font of knowledge about the local area including the history, geology, flora, and fauna. He was an excellent teacher and very patient. I also appreciate the way he provided the technical clothing because we would have been miserable without the waterproof clothing. The 3 hour tour was just the right length and I liked that it was more concerned with details and seeing caves and birds rather than covering distance. This is definitely something I will come back and do with my husband and kids. The marshmallows on the beach and fossils hunting was the icing on the cake.

We booked a tour in the May half term and had an amazing time with Kieran and his team. Despite the fact that it was a large group being half term and exceptional weather (approx. 11 kayaks), the whole experience was smoothly organised and fun. Kieran was very knowledgeable, approachable and enaging and his team Ollie and Tom ensured that everything ran smoothly. During our trip we visited 2 sea caves, saw peregrin falcons, fulmars, shags and cormorants as well has having a chance to do a little fossil hunting, try 'truffles of the sea' (surprisingly tasty!) and samphire and toast a marshmallow on the beach. Kieran also had lots of local stories about everything from 'the octopus invasion of 2025' to the house that fell into the sea the morning after going on the auction block. Before getting on the water we all recieved instruction on the kayaks / paddling techniques and safety and the pace was easy enough for my 12yr old and I to keep up easily (even when she didn't feel like paddling) with plenty of stops for everyone to regroup. All in all I would heartily recommend!

We booked a sea kayaking half day and it was amazing. Booking online was really easy, all information was very clear. Starting from a great small beach location. Our guide Tom was very knowledgeable about the local area and coastline. Our 8 year old had never been before and myself and my partner hadn't kayaked for years. It was at our pace and we even got to stop off for some marshmallow roasting on a secluded beach. Would highly recommend.
