Private Sea Kayaking Tour on The Lizard Peninsula

See a different side of Cornwall with a private sea kayaking session, tailored just for your group. With your own guide and a flexible route planned around the weather and tides, you’ll have the space to enjoy the coastline in your own time. It’s a great way to try something new, build confidence on the water, and share the experience with friends or family.

• Session length: 2.5–3 hours
• Kayaks: Single or double sit-on-top
• Minimum age: 10 years (under 12s must paddle with an adult)

What to Expect

Your session begins with a friendly briefing and short coaching session in the sheltered water near the launch site. This is your chance to get to grips with the equipment and pick up a few simple paddling techniques. The guide will take the time to make sure everyone is comfortable, regardless of previous experience. From there, you’ll head out as a group on a route chosen specifically for your group, based on the conditions and the kind of experience you're after—whether that’s a relaxed paddle or something a bit more adventurous.

During the tour, you’ll explore parts of the coastline that are only accessible by water. You could be weaving between cliffs, paddling into sea caves, drifting through gullies, or spotting wildlife like seals and seabirds. Because the session is private, the pace is entirely up to you. There’ll be chances to ask questions, stop for photos, and enjoy the surroundings without rushing. Your guide will keep the session safe and engaging throughout, sharing local knowledge along the way. Complimentary photography is included, so you’ll receive photos of your group after the session at no extra cost.

Location

Sessions run from either Mullion Cove or Cadgwith, both located on the Lizard Peninsula. These two launch points give access to some of the best sea kayaking routes in the area, including hidden coves, caves and quiet stretches of open water. 

The specific location is chosen the day before to ensure the safest and most enjoyable experience, based on sea state, tide and weather conditions. This flexible approach means you’ll always be kayaking in the most suitable spot for your group.

Prerequisites

This session is suitable for all levels, from total beginners to those with previous paddling experience. You don’t need to have done any kayaking before—your guide will teach you everything you need on the day. 

Participants should be confident in the water and able to follow instructions. Children under 12 must share a double kayak with an adult.
