What Can I Expect

A choice of kayaking adventures in Newquay! Paddle on the sea, or paddle on the tidal estuary. Both experiences offer amazing views and scenery - and both are suitable for beginners.

Cornwall is a great place for kayaking. This Newquay-based team has picked two of their favourite itineraries local to them to offer the best mix of tranquillity and adventurousness. And, of course, being open to novices, all the tuition you need to get paddling safely on the water is included.

The sea kayaking safari is billed as an eco-tour. That's because you'll be seeing the wilder aspects of Newquay at its very best. The secret coves and caverns along this coastline are havens for birds and marine life.

Your guides are passionate about preserving this delicate environment and by taking you on a kayak tour of the area, they hope to make visitors aware of how important the whole area is for wildlife and the local eco-system.

As you paddle along, it feels like a real privilege to be able to observe this natural, undisturbed habitat - and what better way to access it than under your own steam on a kayak, with paddle power and no dirty, noisy engine!

Same with the estuary kayaking experience. The Gannel is tidal and is an amazing place to kayak. The river flows a gentle, meandering course to the sea, with blue lagoons all around. Imagine paddling along, with the overhanging trees and the sound of the birds. It's pure bliss!

And we have to say, it's also a great vantage point from which to see what is known locally as ‘Millionaire's Row', with some of the most impressive houses in the area backing onto this scenic estuary.

Both tours last around three hours in total and they are fully-guided by a qualified kayaking instructor. If you fancy going kayaking in Newquay, these coast and estuary experiences are the ones for you. Buy your vouchers online from us now.
