Sea Kayak Tour on the Lizard Peninsula

Mullion Harbour or Cadgwith. We choose the day before based on wind, swell and sea state, then send directions and parking.

You cannot pick the harbour when you book. Wait for that message rather than driving to a spot you have guessed.

About three hours including changing and the brief, with around two hours on the water. The pace follows the group and the sea.

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.

No. The first minutes are in sheltered water so you can get used to the boat. The guide stays with the least confident paddler.

If you already paddle, say so at the start so we can give you more coast and less first-stroke talk.

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. Tell us ages when you book so we can put the right people in the right boats or keep a child with an adult.

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. If you forget something essential we will say so on the day rather than sending you out in kit that does not work.

Swimwear, trainers or water shoes, a towel, sunscreen and sunglasses. Flip-flops and bare feet are not accepted.

We supply the wetsuit, buoyancy aid, helmet, paddle and kayak. Your own shorty or full-length suit is fine.

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. If anyone in the booking is unsure, tell us when you book rather than waiting until you are already at the water.

Light rain does not cancel a tour. We cancel or move when the wind or swell makes an open-water paddle unsafe. The other Lizard launch is the first option.

If we cancel, we rearrange. The day-before message is also when we confirm the sea is usable.

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.

Yes. Solo bookers join other people on the same slot and usually take a single kayak.

If you want the route to yourselves, book the private Lizard kayak session instead. If you would rather not share the session, look at the private listing for the same activity instead.
