Sea Kayaking

Sea Kayak Trips

Spectacular views and wildlife.

A typical sea kayak trip could be:

Starting at Peel Castle we journey south beneath the towering cliffs, admiring the vivid rock formations and exploring the sea caves. We enjoy seal colonies and abundant bird life, including Guillemots, Shags and in the nesting season, Puffins! Then its time to turn around and reversing the original route, seeing the coastline from yet another angle.
See the event schedule for details of Sea Kayak Trips and evening paddles from locations around the Manx coastline. Typically three hours in duration, from meeting at the beach 'til returning to the put-in.

Individual and group bookings taken. Discount available on group bookings.

Full Day Trips

Typically six hours from meeting to finish, including lunch on a remote beach. 

A typical full day trip could be :
Starting at Peel Castle, we follow a similar route to the above sea kayak trip! Continuing South past Glenmaye for Lunch at Niarbyl ‘the tail of rocks’ and see the little thatched cottage and surrounding spectacular coastal views made famous by the film ‘Waking Ned’. Packing away the flasks we get underway, paddling past the rounded headlands, rocky shores, stacks and intermittent caves, toward Bradda Head and the Calf of Man.
Arriving at the sandy bay overlooked by Port Erin and pulling the kayaks up the beach we taste a delicious Manx Ice Cream from the Parlour by the shore.
