Get ready for a full day of adventure with your young family on our guided sea kayak trip, designed to explore the gorgeous coastal landscapes around Dartmouth, Devon.
Prepare for a day filled with exploration and excitement as you venture on a journey along the scenic Devon coastline. Our experienced guides will ensure your family enjoys a safe and enjoyable adventure, catering to all skill levels.
The day begins with a comprehensive briefing and kayak orientation at our base in Dartmouth. Once geared up, you'll paddle out to discover hidden coves, rugged cliffs, and wildlife-rich islands inaccessible by other means.
A highlight is a leisurely stop at a secluded beach where you can enjoy lunch, swim in pristine waters, and even roast marshmallows over a beachside fire. The return journey offers more opportunities to soak in the surrounding beauty, with our guides ready to share their local knowledge and ensure a memorable experience for everyone.
Our adventure starts at Coronation Dinghy Park, conveniently located on Coombe Road in Dartmouth. This strategic location offers immediate access to the peaceful waters of the estuary and the open sea, ensuring a varied and enriching kayaking experience.
No prior kayaking experience is necessary. Our trips are suitable for beginners and families, with our guides providing all necessary instruction and support throughout the day.

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.
What experience do I need?
You don’t need any experience at all, you don’t even need to be the sporty type or be able to swim.
In our comfortable, stable kayaks and under the expert guidance of our coaches you will quickly relax and enjoy your trip. For those who consider themselves to be fit and adventurous there is endless possibilities for excitement.
Safety is our priority. We monitor weather conditions closely and may adjust the itinerary or reschedule if necessary.
We provide waterproof gear to ensure your comfort.
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.
