What to expect
You'll meet at the launch point, get fitted with a lifejacket, and receive a quick briefing on paddle technique and safety. The guide leads a steady group paddle, pausing to point out seabirds, fish, and plants typical to this part of the coast. Expect calm chat rather than intense exertion—this is about observing, not racing. As light fades, the water takes on richer colours and the pace stays unhurried. Halfway through or towards the end, you'll get fruit and biscuits to nibble.
Good to know
Arrive early to sort out any accessibility needs or infant seats. Wear clothes you don't mind getting damp. The tour runs regardless of light drizzle but not in rough seas. Public transport is nearby if you're not driving.
