The booking is about three hours including changing, with around two hours on the water. Single or double boats are available, and photos come with the tour. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 3 hours including changing Meeting point: South Quay Car Park, The Wharf, Mousehole, TR19 6RT Minimum age: 5 years Group: Maximum 8 people Kit: Sit-on-top kayak, wetsuit, buoyancy aid, helmet and paddle 🛶 Key Skills Forward paddle and a simple turn Sitting a sit-on-top in small swell Launching and landing on a slipway Reading wind and tide with a guide Sharing a double kayak with a child 👀 What to Expect Meet at South Quay, kit up, then practise a few strokes in the harbour before you head out. The route follows the coast rather than a long crossing, with time to look into caves and float when the group wants a pause. The guide keeps the pace with the least confident paddler. Please arrive 15 minutes early. Footwear that can get wet is required; flip-flops are not accepted. Children under 14 share a double kayak with an adult unless they already paddle a single well. If Mousehole is not safe we move to a more sheltered launch and message you. 📍 Location Mousehole is a fishing village a short drive from Penzance. The meeting point is South Quay Car Park, The Wharf, TR19 6RT. The harbour gives a sheltered start before you reach the open coast. If the swell or wind is wrong we may launch from Mullion, Cadgwith or another nearby spot and send directions. Parking is in the quay car park. Toilets and cafes sit in the village. ✅ Prerequisites No kayaking experience is needed. You do need to be able to swim, as the tour is in open water even with a buoyancy aid on. Children from five can join. Anyone under 14 shares a double kayak with an adult aged 18 or over, unless they can already paddle a single. Bring swimwear, trainers or water shoes, a towel and any medication. Bare feet are not allowed. Your own shorty or full-length wetsuit is fine. ⭐ Why Choose Us An AALA-licensed team has run paddlesport on this coast for more than 20 years. Guides pick the launch to match the wind, and the group stays small enough that the coach can still talk to each boat. Photos come with the tour. If you want the route to yourselves, book the private Mousehole kayak session instead. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Guided group tour of about 3 hours including changing Sit-on-top kayak, paddle, wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet Safety brief and coaching on the water Photos from the session ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Trainers or water shoes (required) Swimwear and towel Parking in the quay car park Personal insurance ### Kit list Swimwear Trainers, water shoes or wetsuit boots A towel and warm dry clothes Sunscreen and sunglasses Any personal medication ## FAQs ### How long is the tour? About three hours including changing and the brief, with around two hours on the water. The pace follows the group and the sea, so some parties finish a little sooner. Arrive 15 minutes early so changing does not eat into the paddle time. If anything about the booking is unclear, send a message before you travel and we will sort it. ### Where do we meet? South Quay Car Park, The Wharf, Mousehole, TR19 6RT. Kit up there, then launch from the harbour. Toilets and cafes sit in the village. If Mousehole is not safe we send a new launch such as Mullion or Cadgwith. Check your messages the day before. ### Do I need kayaking experience? No. The first minutes are in the harbour so you can get used to the boat before you leave the shelter. The guide stays with the least confident paddler. If you already paddle, say so at the start so we are not repeating a first-stroke script. The first minutes are always the slower ones, so there is time to say if you want more coaching or more coast. ### What is the minimum age? Five. Children under 14 share a double kayak with an adult aged 18 or over, unless they can already paddle a single and we agree that on the day. The adult in the double needs to be a capable paddler, not another young child. Tell us ages when you book so we can put the right people in the right boats or keep a child with an adult. ### Single or double kayaks? Both. Singles suit people who want their own boat. Doubles suit pairs, nervous paddlers and children under 14. We help you choose on the day. All the boats are sit-on-tops, so a capsize is a climb back on rather than a wet exit from a closed cockpit. ### What should I wear and bring? Swimwear under a wetsuit, plus trainers, water shoes or wetsuit boots. Flip-flops and bare feet are not accepted. Bring a towel, sunscreen and sunglasses. We supply the wetsuit, buoyancy aid, helmet, paddle and kayak. Your own shorty or full-length suit is fine. ### Do I need to be able to swim? Yes. The tour is in open water. A buoyancy aid is on the whole time, but you still need to be comfortable in the sea if you come off the boat. If you are unsure, say so when you book. We would rather move you to a calmer private slot than have you struggle on an open-coast tour. ### What if the weather is poor? Light rain does not cancel a tour. We cancel or move when the wind or swell makes an open-water paddle unsafe. Another launch is the first option. If we cancel, we rearrange. Message us the day before if you are travelling a long way. If you are driving a long way, check your messages the evening before so you are not on the road before we have confirmed the plan. ### Are photos included? Yes. The guide takes pictures during the tour and shares them afterwards. You do not need a phone in the boat. We cannot promise a shot of every cave. The priority is the group and the sea. Ask the guide at the end how the pictures will be sent, as that can change with the size of the group. ### Can I join on my own? Yes. Solo bookers join other people on the same slot. You will have your own single kayak unless you ask to share. If you want the route to yourselves, book the private Mousehole kayak session instead. If you would rather not share the session, look at the private listing for the same activity instead. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/LIZARD-KAYAK-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 8 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
