This was a great experience. I do think the low tide hampers ones ability to enjoy it fully. Obviously this cant be avoided. Next time I'll book outside of low tides. Otherwise fun and good to be in nature. Will book again.

We don’t charge extra for things you need for each booking. So wetsuits are available to all who want to use them. Buoyancy aids are compulsory so of course you get one of those.
All our kayaks come with back supports. We have a small selection of wetsuit shoes for those who forget, but as this is a more personal thing we suggest you bring your own enclosed toe type of shoe that can get wet.
The use of all kit is included with each lesson.
We are happy for well-behaved dogs to accompany you as long as the equipment comes back in the same condition. It is not possible to bring dogs on lessons or tours.
Unfortunately, we don’t. A large council-owned car park in Mudeford Quay is payable by the hour.
Please note that the car park can be very busy during peak season and at the weekends, so please allow plenty of time before your lesson.
All users must read, understand and sign a waiver form prior to use. This will be found in your booking email. And as per your agreement, you must follow instructions given by the team. If in doubt ask.

As complete beginners, we found Nick to be an excellent tutor - he was very flexible, tailoring the level of support to our needs, tugging us out to where we needed to be, and swiftly coming to our rescue when we capsized! In Christchurch Harbour the water is calm, shallow…
