What to expect

Meet, kit up & brief. We’ll get you into the right kit, fit buoyancy aids, then run a clear safety briefing and check the day’s plan based on wind, swell and tide.

Skills as we go. This isn’t “sit in a boat and hope” — we coach as you paddle: efficient strokes, turning, raft-ups, and how to move confidently in coastal water.

A proper journey. We explore the coastline around Howick, choosing the best route for the conditions. Expect rocky channels, beaches, wildlife moments and proper sea kayaking scenery.

Stops built in. We take breaks for views, photos and a brew stop when conditions allow (yes, the kettle photo is real — it’s a vibe).

Who it suits best. Adults and older teens (16+) who want a fuller adventure and time to settle into paddling. If you want a shorter option, try our half-day kayaking sessions.

Everything included. Kayak, paddle, wetsuit, buoyancy aid and guidance throughout — so you can focus on the journey.

This is the “we’ve actually been somewhere” kayaking day.
