What is Sea Kayaking?
Sea Kayaking is a great way to get out on the water and explore the coast. We run guided excursions on stable sit-on-tops as well as closed cockpit sea kayaks from Port Gaverne, paddling to remote beaches and coves or around to neighbouring Port Isaac, spotting wildlife and enjoying beautiful, unspoiled scenery away from the crowds.
Nothing beats the view of the Cornish coastline looking back from the sea. Our sturdy double sit-on-top kayaks are easy to use, and they allow you to paddle as a pair so that you can share the effort and concentrate on enjoying the scenery. Full instruction is provided and no previous experience is required. All equipment is provided.

Sea Kayaking
Starting from the calm waters of the cove at Port Gaverne you’ll spend two hours on the water under the guidance of one of our qualified sea kayaking instructors, learning some basic kayaking skills before setting off as a group to explore the surrounding coastline.
Our standard Sea Kayaking sessions are popular with families and individuals or small groups of all ages. We use double sit-on-top sea kayaks that are extremely stable and allow you to paddle efficiently either alone or as a pair, so that you can spend your time focused on enjoying the experience.
Sea Kayaking costs £45 per person.
Participants must be 8 years or older.

"I wish I had tried this sooner"
Our families had a fantastic time sea kayaking from Port Gaverne. Friendly & helpful instructor who showed us some amazing caves and explained the geography & wildlife to us. I have been holidaying in Cornwall for 40 years, I wish I had tried this sooner.

"A perfect way to end our week in Cornwall"
If you’re suddenly finding yourself with restless teenagers on holiday, then I highly recommend booking a sea kayaking session with Cornish Rock Tors. It was a winner with our hard to please 13 and 16 year olds and really fun and lovely activity to do as a family. Highly recommended!

"Safe, interesting, exciting and great value for money"
I was impressed by how flexible the team were at re booking our sea kayaking to a day we would have a better experience at sea. The guides are funny and encouraging which is everything you need to push you out of your comfort zone and get you to try something new. Safe, interesting, exciting and great value for money. Highly recommended.
