Cornwall is undoubtedly one of the UK’s most stunning counties, from its dramatic coastline to its peaceful inland waterways. Kayaking in Cornwall on one of our guided kayak tours is the ultimate way to experience the county’s remote beauty. Our tours last approximately 2 hours and are led by experienced guides using sit-on kayaks.

We offer two amazing kayak adventures and one paddle board adventure:

St Agnes Kayak Adventure: Departing from Trevaunance Cove, in the charming village of St Agnes, located halfway between Newquay and St Ives, this adventure explores Cornwall’s world-famous Poldark coastline. Depending on weather and sea conditions, we’ll paddle either East or West, discovering dramatic cliffs, stunning caves, and beautiful coves. This coastline was the inspiration for Winston Graham’s Poldark series.

The Helford Kayak Adventure: Launching from the private foreshore of the Budock Vean Hotel near Falmouth, we either cross the Helford River to Frenchman’s Creek—the inspiration for Daphne du Maurier’s novel, ‘Frenchman’s Creek’—or paddle towards Falmouth Bay, exploring secluded beaches and famous gardens. The serene surroundings, calm waters, incredible history, and diverse wildlife make this tour a must-do for nature lovers.

The Helford Paddle Board Adventure: As you paddle along the calm waters of the Helford River, you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking views and a rich tapestry of natural beauty and wildlife. This area is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), making it the perfect setting for a tranquil and scenic paddle. Along the way, you’ll learn about the local history, wildlife, and the unique environment that makes the Helford River so special.
