Highlight was a very lucky seal sighting, and the trip was awesome too. Educational and fun - Steve coaches without it feeling like you're being trained. It was my first day sea kayaking and I built on techniques learnt around Beaulieu in the spectacular setting of Old Harry rocks. Looking forward to a summer of practise, less getting stuck on rocks, and longer expeditions!

Really enjoyed our sea kayaking trip. Amy was our coach and she did a great job of teaching and balancing that with enjoying the kayak. I'm glad we had a go at rolling over and getting out at the end of the session.

Absolutely amazing, if you are new to kayaking or need to brush up on your skills I would recommend these activities. Our instructor Leander made us feel safe & comfortable on the water, her teaching skills are second to none. If you are thinking of booking go ahead you will have a wonderful day.
