Kids’ Splash is one of our most popular activities, and fills up fast and early! Booking is online only. Age 8-14.
A Splash session is two hours of fun, games, races and teaching technique on paddleboards and/or kayaks. The instructor chooses the craft based on the conditions, and we limit numbers to a 6:1 ratio of kids to instructors to make everything safe and manageable.
This is an ideal way to introduce kids to activities on the water; we take beginners to experts, and they all have great fun! They should be confident in the water, but will be carefully supervised and wearing buoyancy aids and wetsuits, sometimes helmets depending on the games planned.
We paddle out from Pen Polion (the small pier) and into the safe, sheltered curve of Traeth Gwyn to play. Games include the use of floaty toys, balls, sponges to throw, rafting up and much more. Where possible, an assistant is on hand to help those who have less paddle experience.
We run sessions Sunday mornings 10am – 12pm from Easter. We also run Splash sessions during the week during the school holidays. If you would like a session at another time/date for a group, please email us.
Arrive by 09:45 at the latest so your child/ren can be dressed and ready for a 10am start. There is no need to stay; the instructor is the responsible adult for these sessions.
Cancellation: We do not cancel for rain as the kids will get wet anyway ! We will cancel if the minimum numbers are not achieved. We will cancel if the wind / sea state is unsuitable.
See our T’s & C’s for our cancellation policy.
