Highlights
  • English Riviera - Guided Wildlife, Bushcraft and Sea Cave Kayak Safari
    Enjoy a morning exploring the English Riviera Unesco Global Geopark, where you will paddle through stunning caves and around dramatic rock formations and into remote coves. You will stop on a secluded beach to hunt for fossils, taste a wild foraged marine herb and have a beach fire where you will get to toast marshmallows!
    Our active seal populations and resident cetaceans move around South Devon and can be observed on many of our tours. Our seals fish and bask in the sun at their favourite haul outs that we pass and observe them from our boats.
    Bring snacks and water with you, and in the summer months, we recommend you wear shorts and a sports top. In the autumn and spring bring active walking clothes or waterproof trousers if you have them on colder days. Conditions can change, but we outfit you with any technical clothing that you may require.

Sea kayaking with loads to see and explore. - Lovely kayaking trip yesterday from Oddicombe beach. Kieran was welcoming and friendly. Kieran made the trip very interesting and informative. We managed to spot nesting Peregrine Falcons on the cliffs. Maybe next time we will spot seals. Good fun manoeuvring into the caves. A fab way to spend a few hours on the Devonshire coast.

Fabulous experience with wonderful guide. - We had a wonderful trip with Kieran. He was very personable, helpful and knowledgeable. The trip made our weekend memorable and we would thoroughly recommend. The trip is also okay for non experienced kayak / cave users and Kieran is a patient teacher and fantastic multi tasker; taking photos, giving so many facts, pointing out interests and helping us to kayak! Thank you so much for making our trip so wonderful, it really was a highlight of our weekend away.

Great value for money! - Yesterday’s experience with Kieran and his team were truly incredible and one I will treasure. I attended with my 2 boys and their Dad. This activity was something we have never done before and I was out of my comfort zone however I was really taken care of and guided every step of the way. The views were stunning, Kieren was informative and very personable and my boys really enjoyed toasting marshmallows on the beach! The photos we were given are beautiful and added to the experience. I really would recommend this activity to those looking for something new and exciting to do alone or with family. Thank you we will be back soon x

What an incredible experience! - This trip was amazing and we are soooo glad we did this instead of a boat trip!. Kieran was very patient and knowledgeable about the area and timings to try to see the local wildlife and we was very fortunate on the day. The caves were lush and a new experience w would have missed if on a boat trip. We will definitely do this again!

Great kayaking, great host - Such a great trip. Kieran was a wonderful host/instructor making sure we were all having fun while being safe on the water. Really in-depth knowledge of the local area and landscape. We paddled out to a nearby beach, with Kieran giving us info on wildlife and landscape en route. We stopped for a rest and some delicious toasted marshmallows, then went on our way again, passing some dolphins! Highly recommend booking with him.
