Two hours paddling around New Quay bay with a guide who will talk to you about the history of the area and its wildlife.
We cannot go into caves etc. as we must abide by the Marine Wildlife Code, but we still often 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.
You can take a kayak or a paddleboard. We will paddle at the speed of the slowest. The lower age limit is 12 to ensure we can go a decent distance.
If there are no dates to suit you, we can try to plan around your timetable, the weather and our instructors’ availability. Get in touch!
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.
