These introductory kayaking sessions run from Aberdaron beach using single seat and tandem sit on top kayaks which are easy to paddle and are very stable.
Sessions vary depending on the sea conditions. When the sea is calm we offer a scenic journey and the chance to learn about this fascinating coastline, its rich local history and incredible wildlife, including sea birds like puffins and Manx shearwaters, as well as seals and porpoises. If the sea is rough and the weather is still favourable you can have a go at surfing in the waves.
During the session you will be looked after by a qualified kayaking coach who will provide you with all the necessary equipment and look after you throughout your adventure. You will need to bring swim wear, old trainers and a towel.
Where and when?
Sessions run on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays during Whitsun and summer school holidays and on Saturdays between the two holiday periods and throughout September. A session lasts 2 hours and start times are 10am, 12.30pm and 2.45pm.
A session costs £25 per person, (20% discount for National Trust members).
