Enjoy a full day of adventure in one of the UK's premier sea kayaking destinations. Our experienced guides will lead you on an unforgettable exploration of rocky headlands, spectacular cliffs, and islands teeming with wildlife. You'll have the opportunity to discover secret coves with golden sand beaches, perfect for a relaxing picnic. With no experience required, individuals, groups, and families are all welcome to join us for this ultimate coastal exploration.
Your day begins with a warm welcome and a brief orientation. You'll get kitted up and learn the basics of using the sea kayaks. Once everyone is ready, we'll paddle out to explore the beautiful coast and estuary for about two and a half hours. Along the way, you'll have the chance to spot seals, explore sea caves, and take in the scenery from a unique vantage point.
After a morning of paddling, we'll stop at a secluded beach for lunch. Here, you can relax, go for a swim in the clear waters, and even roast marshmallows on a driftwood fire. This one and a half hour break is the perfect time to recharge and enjoy the peaceful environment.
In the afternoon, we'll paddle back to Dartmouth, spending another two and a half hours on the water. The journey back is just as exciting, offering more opportunities to see wildlife and explore hidden gems along the coast. Throughout the trip, your guide will ensure you have a safe, enjoyable, and memorable experience.
The adventure takes place along the beautiful coast of Dartmouth, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Our kayaks allow us to get close to the shore, accessing areas that other boats can't reach. This offers a unique perspective and an intimate experience with the natural surroundings.
Participants need no prior kayaking experience. The activity is suitable for individuals, groups, and families with children aged 12 and over. You should be comfortable in the water and have a moderate level of fitness.

YES! Pretty much everyone who gets into one of our Sea Kayaks is amazed at how easy it is. They are stable and they all have a retractable fin at the back so they track naturally in a straight line.
Even the least fit will glide along faster than walking speed with about the same amount of effort as riding a bike on the flat. Our super stable double kayaks also have a rudder at the back to make steering even easier.
We keep our group sizes small with a minimum of 2 and maximum of 6 people per instructor. If you are a larger group or 2 families who want to kayak together, that is no problem at all; you will simply have multiple instructors looking after you on the water.
If you would like to book a group of more than 6 people just send us a message via the adventuro chat below. They'll be happy to help!
We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
