DORSET KAYAKING | DISCOVER THE COASTLINe | Old Harry Trips
You must bring old trainers to wear in the water, swimwear, a towel and any essential medication.
Please wear old trainers you don't mind getting wet, wetsuit boots or water shoes.
We provide wet-suits and a buoyancy aid.
A kayaking session lasts 2 hours or 3 hours if you have chosen our Old Harry Trip.
Sessions available at Sandbanks, Swanage and Studland. Please check your booking information for the location details.
You must be 8 years old to take part or 12 years old for Old Harry Rocks trip. You must be a confident swimmer and happy to be in the sea.
Kayaking adventures in Dorset are the best. Choose to paddle in Swanage Bay or Sandbanks, Poole. Both locations offer an idyllic setting to enjoy kayaking to the fullest.
Your kayaking session begins with a coaching session on how to paddle like a pro. Then we’ll progress to a mini journey with games and challenges to put your skills into practice.
We provide wetsuits or waterproofs. You just need to bring clothes and an old pair of trainers you don’t mind getting wet.
We use double sit-on-top kayaks, which are super-stable and perfect for all abilities. We welcome stag dos, hen dos, families (minimum age 8) and groups of friends.
It’s a fantastic way to explore the local Dorset area and see the incredible coastline from a new watery perspective.
Just let us know if you want something a little more bespoke and we’d be happy to arrange something to suit your group. Happy paddling!
