Experience an unforgettable guided half-day trip, perfect for exploring one of the UK’s premier sea kayak destinations. This adventure takes you along the gorgeous coastline near Dartmouth, where you'll discover rocky headlands, secret coves, and sandy beaches. Suitable for all ages and abilities, this trip requires no prior experience, making it an ideal outing for everyone.
Upon arrival, you will meet your friendly and experienced guide who will ensure you have all the necessary equipment and knowledge to enjoy your trip. The session begins with a brief introduction and instruction on how to use the kayaks. You'll then paddle out to explore the scenic coast.
The journey takes you close to the shore, navigating through areas that other boats cannot access. You'll have the opportunity to spot seals, explore sea caves (especially during high tides), and enjoy a refreshing swim in a secluded cove. A stop on a remote beach allows for a relaxing break where you can stretch your legs, swim, and roast marshmallows on a driftwood fire. The trip concludes with a leisurely paddle back to Dartmouth, providing ample time to soak in the beauty of the area.
Our adventure begins at Coronation Dinghy Park, Coombe Road, Dartmouth TQ6 9PQ. The surrounding coast is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it the perfect place to explore by kayak.
Suitable for ages 12 and up, this trip welcomes all abilities. No prior kayaking experience is required, and both youngsters and adults are encouraged to join.
Founded in 2011, our centre in Dartmouth provides exceptional guided sea kayak trips and skills courses for all levels. Our team of over 15 experienced coaches and a selection of 40+ sea kayaks ensure a safe, enjoyable, and memorable experience.
We pride ourselves on our friendly and highly qualified guides who are dedicated to making your adventure both fun and informative.
YES! Pretty much everyone who gets into one of our Sea Kayaks is amazed at how easy it is. They are stable and they all have a retractable fin at the back so they track naturally in a straight line.
Even the least fit will glide along faster than walking speed with about the same amount of effort as riding a bike on the flat. Our super stable double kayaks also have a rudder at the back to make steering even easier.
You don’t need any experience at all, you don’t even need to be the sporty type or be able to swim.
In our comfortable, stable kayaks and under the expert guidance of our coaches you will quickly relax and enjoy your trip. For those who consider themselves to be fit and adventurous there is endless possibilities for excitement.
If it’s a hot day all you’ll need is shorts and t-shirt! However there is plenty of dry storage in the kayaks so please also bring…
You don’t need a wetsuit. It’s very rare that anyone falls in the water and it’s much more comfortable to paddle in light clothing.
For trips in the early spring, late autumn and winter, please bring plenty of warm outdoor clothing (fleece jumpers etc.) and a spare set of clothing. For our winter courses and trips you can use one of our Peak UK Adventure one piece drysuits.
We monitor weather conditions closely. If conditions are unsafe, we will reschedule or offer a refund.
Light rain or wind usually doesn't stop us from enjoying the trip.
Yes, children aged 12 and above can join. We have large double kayaks available for youngsters or those who prefer to paddle with an adult.

We had a great time. The instructor made us feel constantly reassured that we were in good hands. He was also really knowledgeable about the area and able to introduce us to great opportunities to explore various caves and coves during our training.
