Itinerary
On Day 1, you will arrive at our kayak base in Coronation Park, Dartmouth, at 09:30. After meeting your instructor and getting kitted up, you'll load your kayak and begin your adventure along the coast. The morning will be spent discovering hidden gems accessible only by kayak, enjoying a picnic on a deserted beach, and trying your hand at fishing.
In the afternoon, you'll continue exploring the coastline, spotting wildlife, and swimming in secluded coves. By evening, you'll arrive at a remote beach for camping. Here, you'll set up camp with the help of your guide, enjoy a BBQ dinner, and roast marshmallows around a driftwood fire. Evening activities include building rope swings, rock skimming competitions, and playing frisbee.
Day 2 starts with a refreshing swim, followed by a hearty breakfast of bacon sandwiches. You'll then continue your coastal exploration, visiting sea caves and rocky islands, and trying to catch some fish while enjoying another picnic lunch. In the afternoon, you'll gradually make your way back to Dartmouth, aiming to return by mid-afternoon. After unloading your kayaks, you'll share your experiences and say your goodbyes.
