Dorset Kayaking Experiences | Activities | Poole Harbour | Swanage
Kayaking is without a doubt the best way to get up close and personal with the truly awesome coastline we have in Dorset. On our taster sessions, one of our experienced Instructors will give you some key basic instruction and take you out to explore the world-famous Poole Harbour. The harbour is the second biggest natural harbour in the world, featuring 5 islands, an SSSI and the home of the international Scout movement. (So there’s definitely plenty to see!)
The unique manoeuvrability of a Kayak makes them the perfect mode of transport for exploring the Dorset coast. We can take you to places you’ve never even seen, explore caves, arches and hard to reach beaches. Trips like these also come along with some truly exclusive photo opportunities, the type of photos that are the perfect addition to your Socials, with the added benefit of making all your followers jealous!

Kayaking is one of the largest Watersports in the world. Hugely popular largely because of how easy it makes exploring places you've never seen. Kayaks offer manoeuvrability that you just can’t get on any other boat, giving you the ability to get into small bays and explore small rivers.
Kayaking offers an amazing sense of freedom that many love. However, it does also present its own risks and dangers. By joining us on one of our kayak taster sessions you can experience the freedoms of the sport, under the safe, watch full eye of one of our experienced instructors.
Kayak Taster Sessions
Our Kayak Taster Sessions are based off the beach at Lake Pier, on the shores of the world famous Poole Harbour. We do occasionally move these sessions to Wareham River, this allows us to continue to operate, even when weather in the harbour is unfavourable.

A pair of shoes to wear in the water, and wear something you don't mind getting wet....we don't plan on getting "that" wet....but its best to be prepared!

Contact lenses - If you can get away with not wearing them, that’s best. If you do need them to see, be sure to have a spare pair to put in after your session.
