  1. Meet your guide on the beach

    We start with a friendly welcome, kit check, and a simple safety briefing. No experience is needed, and you can ask anything before you set off.

  2. Learn the basics in calm water

    Your guide shows you how to paddle, steer, and sit comfortably in the kayak. You get time to practise close to shore before heading along the coast.
