Two hours paddling out of New Quay bay with a guide.
We cannot go into caves etc. as we must abide by the Marine Wildlife Code, but we may see seabirds, dolphins and seals.
You don’t need to be super-fit. You don’t need to swim well, but you should have basic water confidence. We will give you some basic paddling instruction; we use nice stable sit-on-top kayaks. You can hire a wetsuit if you wish, and everyone must wear a buoyancy aid.
We will paddle at the speed of the slowest. The lower age limit is 12 to ensure we can go a decent distance.
As we go outside of our normal paddling area for tours, we have a fully coded boat to support paddlers (commercially-endorsed).
Please note that if the weather forecast is poor, we will not hesitate to cancel the tour – safety is our main priority.
Tours have minimum of 4 and maximum of 6 participants.
Contact us for date/s.
