Description

H2O Adventures loves to take you on epic sea kayaking adventures along the coastlines of the UK. Throughout the year we have sea kayaking adventure days and weekends away where you will join one of our British Canoeing qualified coaches and guide who will show you all there is to know about sea kayaking. H2O Adventures is based on the Jurassic Coast which has so many amazing locations to explore by kayak.


Swanage is our home and this trip takes you around Swanage Bay where you can explore the old and new piers and get to see history from years gone by. You will get to head out across Swanage bay to the chalk cliffs where we have an abundance of caves and sea stacks to explore. this area is home to seals which we get to see from time to time.


During your day on the water, you will get to visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Old Harry Rocks. It's a great landmark to have your photos with and stop for lunch. Studland Bay is only a short paddle away which gives us so many possibilities during your time. You will get to learn lots of great skills and even a rescue practice or 2 if you're feeling brave.


Our sea kayaking adventures are a full day out on the water and can cover up to 15km in a day, so a reasonable level of fitness is required. Previous kayaking experience is required for the longer trips which will be highlighted when booking. Each trip is planned around the tides so you won't be paddling against the flow

We had an excellent two hour kayak experience across the bay at Swanage. Though we (2 adults & 2 kids) were beginners, Steven was very patient and hence we all felt very confident, comfortable and enjoyed the experience.
