Sea kayaking lessons and tours in Newquay, Cornwall

From the comfort of our on-site heated changing rooms, your family will be kitted up with Rip Curl wetsuits, buoyancy aids, helmets and paddles. This top-quality kit will keep you warm and safe during your kayak tour in Newquay.

Once fully kitted up, your expert kayak instructor will lead you in the basics of paddle strokes, kit familiarity, water safety and signals - finishing with a short warm-up before heading down to the water. From here, the Family Kayak Tour will move at the group's pace stopping at areas of interest to answer any questions and to explore the impressive coastline up close and personal. It’s in these moments that history really comes alive as you revisit the routes that sea-faring pirates would have regularly taken to avoid the authorities.

If the tides and conditions permit, you will explore inside and around old smugglers' caves that were once used to store exotic plunder. Cast your mind back hundreds of years and imagine yourself in the boots of pirates that shared these very same waterways.
