You should be interested in completing journeys in a sea kayak exploring wild places.
You need to be confident that you have the fitness to paddle a sea kayak as well as carry kayaks to and from and the water. We’ll take breaks and paddle at an achievable pace but the activity inherently involves sustained physical effort.
You need to be confident and prepared for the physical and mental demands of an adventure sport - being active for a lot of the day, being out in the elements, being prepared to take on both easier and tougher sections of paddling as they may occur as part of the nature of sea kayaking.
No sea kayaking experience is necessary, we’ll cover basic skill and then help you develop your skill and knowledge throughout the trip.

These trips are open to all levels of experience. The locations and route choice will be based on providing an enjoyable journey that is within the capabilities of a beginner but could be enjoyed by those with previous experience looking to explore as part of a guided group.
