Itinerary

- Evening: social time on the beach with campfire and shared stories.
- Day two: wake at sunrise, pack camp and continue guided paddling before concluding at the pickup/finish point.

Highlights
- Explore Hidden Coastlines: Navigate your kayak through secret caves and investigate crystal-clear rockpools. You will glide past towering cliffs and access untouched, pristine coves that are completely unreachable by land, giving you a true sense of discovery.
- Spot Stunning Wildlife: Keep your eyes peeled for the diverse and vibrant marine life native to the South Coast. From curious seals bobbing in the surf and nesting seabirds above, to colourful crabs and anemones in the shallows, nature is everywhere you look.
- Exclusive Wild Camping: Pull your kayak ashore and spend a magical night camping right on a secluded National Trust beach. Thanks to our unique partnership, you’ll enjoy a rare, off-grid evening watching the sunset over the water before falling asleep under a brilliant canopy of stars.
- Wake & Paddle: Wake up to the sound of gentle waves, watch the sunrise, and launch straight from the sand for your second day of exploration. There is nothing quite like sipping your morning brew on an empty beach before sliding back into the sea for another day of pure adventure.
