Kayaking to Cullernose Point

What to expect

Meet, kit up & brief. We’ll get you into wetsuits, fit buoyancy aids and helmets, then run a clear briefing before launching from Craster. We’ll talk through the day’s conditions and choose the best line for wind, swell and tide.

Travelling south from Craster. Once on the water, we head south along one of the most interesting stretches of the Northumberland coast. This trip is about movement and exploration — not just paddling in a straight line.

Reefs, rocky gullies and features. A big part of the fun is working our way around reefs, broken rock, and narrow gullies, using the coastline to make the journey feel varied and adventurous. This is what makes the trip feel properly coastal.

Coaching throughout. We build skills as we go: boat control, efficient paddling, timing around small water movement, positioning near features, and moving confidently through the journey. You do not need loads of experience, but you should be happy being active on the sea.

A little surfing when conditions allow. On suitable days there may be opportunities to try a bit of playful surfing on reef edges or work with small moving water. Nothing is forced — it depends entirely on conditions and the group — but it adds a brilliant extra layer to the trip.

Who it suits best. Adults and older teens (16+) who want a more adventurous sea kayaking session with variety, movement and a real sense of journey. If you like the idea of exploring coastline rather than simply covering distance, this is the trip.
