Once ready, your instructor will cover the essentials of paddle strokes, safety signals, and what to expect on the water. The short walk down to one of Newquay’s secluded coves feels like part of the adventure itself, with the kayaks waiting at the water’s edge. The tour moves at the group’s pace, with opportunities to swap between double and single kayaks so everyone can find what works best for them. Along the way, instructors weave in games and challenges to keep younger paddlers engaged, while sharing stories of smugglers, shipwrecks, and pirates. Depending on conditions, you may paddle into caves that were once used to stash contraband, giving children (and adults) the chance to imagine life on these waters hundreds of years ago. Wildlife encounters are a highlight, with seabirds nesting on the cliffs and seals often seen in the water. Between paddling, playing, and listening to tales of Newquay’s past, families come away having learnt new skills and shared something that feels both adventurous and achievable. 📍 Location The tour explores Newquay’s Gazzle coastline, just a short walk from Towan Beach. This stretch is full of character, with towering cliffs, narrow inlets, and caves shaped by centuries of storms. It’s a place where history and wildlife overlap – once a hiding ground for smugglers, today it’s home to marine life like seals and fish, as well as seabirds that nest along the rocks. ⚠️ Prerequisites This activity is open to families with children aged 3 and above.

There’s much more to kayaking than simply paddling in a straight line from start to finish. Your session can include much, much more! Learning advanced paddling techniques. Fun games and races. Exploring smugglers caves. Getting up close with wildlife in the natural environment, especially the local Seal population and possibly dolphins. Navigating narrow gullies and riding the natural rapids created by the ocean swell. Learning about local history and points of interest. Watching our coasteering groups as they jump off cliffs is also a great spectator sport! ### What if it rains? What better activity to do in the rain than a water activity? Rain or shine our kayak sessions are the ultimate activity for the family. ### What if I fall in? As you will be undertaking your session in one of our sit-on-top kayaks, falling in pretty unlikely, and even if it does happen, it is not a problem. You can just flip the kayak upright and climb back in. One of our qualified instructors will be on hand to make sure that you are ok and give you any assistance needed. ### What do I need to bring? We can provide a wetsuit so you only need to bring a towel and swimwear. You can wear your own wetsuit if you have one or if you have your own kayak specific waterproofs you may bring these too. Footwear will also be required so bring either a pair of shoes that you don’t mind getting wet or you can hire from us for £3 a go. Most importantly please bring a sense of adventure and fun! ### Where will we go? Your trip will take you on one of a couple of different routes that we use. The main route is along the Gazzle which is a large headland just a short paddle from our centre. Alternatively, we will take you along a sheltered stretch of river located a short drive from the centre. We are happy for you to let us know your preference, and we will use the conditions on the day to help us decide. ### Can we expect to see any wildlife? Our ocean-based route along Towan headland is rich in wildlife. Common sightings include Grey Seals, and an array of birdlife. There is also the possibility to see Dolphins, Sun Fish, Lion’s mane jellyfish, and Basking Sharks have previously been spotted in the area (don’t worry, they are completely harmless and have no teeth). Our river-based route in the Gannel estuary is very in rich in Birdlife including Herrings, Iceland and Franklin Gulls. ### How fit do I need to be to enjoy this session? Providing you have fulfilled the minimum requirement of 50 metres swimming capability and you have no current health issues or injuries preventing you from participating in an adventurous activities you are welcome to come! Don’t worry, it’s not a race and you are not expected to be an Olympic-level paddler! Your instructor will make sure the group moves at the pace of the slowest paddler and will assist weak paddlers when needed. ### Is it safe?
