🧭 What to Expect

Your day begins with a full safety briefing and equipment familiarisation. Instructors will introduce you to wetsuits, buoyancy aids, helmets, kayaks, and paddles, and teach paddling techniques, water safety, and how to manage tides and swell. A short warm-up ensures everyone is comfortable and ready before setting off.

For the river route, you’ll glide along the Gannel Estuary, passing lagoons, hills, and wildlife-rich areas. A stop at Penpol Creek allows you to admire the peaceful surroundings and spot rare estuary birds and other wildlife. Mooring at an historic lime kiln, you can sip Prosecco while enjoying the calm scenery before returning downstream.

Taking the ocean route offers a more expansive coastal experience. Launching from a sheltered cove, you’ll paddle past cliffs, caves, and hidden inlets while observing marine life. Midway, there’s a scenic break to enjoy Prosecco, swap between single and double kayaks if you like, and appreciate views across Newquay’s dramatic coastline. Instructors will share local history, including stories of pirates and smuggling, along the way.

📍 Location

The ocean-based tour explores Newquay’s north coast, featuring semi-secret coves, impressive cliffs, and rich marine habitats. You’ll have the chance to see wildlife up close and experience some of the area’s most striking coastal landscapes.

The river-based tour takes place along the Gannel Estuary, a tranquil environment with diverse flora and fauna. Paddle past historic lime kilns and shipyards, and enjoy views across blue lagoons, rolling hills, and estuary landscapes that stretch to Crantock Beach and beyond. Both settings are easily accessible and provide an enjoyable outdoor environment for all participants.
