Sea Kayaking
Jersey is without doubt one of the world’s top sea kayaking destinations and has been hosting the European Sea Kayaking Symposium every 2 years since 1992.
Why is it so popular? Well, there is simply so much to see with a huge variety of possible expeditions. No matter what your ability, a sea kayaking expedition can be tailored for you. Novices will be taught the basics of kayaking within the surroundings of some of Jersey’s most stunning bays.
At intermediate level you will improve your handling skills, entering the caves on the North coast in your kayak or perhaps kayak surfing at St. Ouen. Whilst advanced groups have the option of visiting some of the spectacular offshore reefs, enjoying a BBQ, and sleeping under the stars. Your informative guide will not only improve your kayaking, you will also learn plenty about Jersey’s unique natural environment and its abundance of wildlife. Simply magical!
We use a variety of kayaks depending on the type of session we are running and the needs of the group. In our standard sessions you can choose from a number of different types of trips, including the north coast caves, wildlife, and history based expeditions. In addition to these we also run surf kayaking sessions and trips to offshore reefs.
