Beginner Sea Kayaking Course

This course is for those that either have tried kayaking before on flat water or are complete novices and wish to explore the sea environment in a specialised sea kayak.

  • Specialised Sea Kayaks
  • Sea Journeys Along the Varied Coast of Anglesey

  • Tailored to Your Requirements

We will undertake journeys around Anglesey where kayak coaching will be mixed with admiring the views and wildlife spotting. Sea Kayaking is a great and fulfilling mode of transport to discover and the environment. We recognise everyone will learn and develop at different paces, so we individualise our coaching so everyone maximises their time with us. This can also be used as a BCU Sea Kayaking 3 Star Training Course.

From Menai Bridge a quick road allows us to access the Northern, Western and Eastern coasts of Anglesey allowing us to find shelter and different sea conditions. All around Anglesey are good beaches, cliffs and caves. There are a couple of seal colonies and various nesting and visiting birds. If you are lucky we do get occasional visits from porpoise and dolphins.
