Dorset Kayaking Experiences
Kayaking is the best way to get up close and personal with the truly awesome coastline we have here 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.
The unique manoeuvrability of a Kayak makes them the perfect mode of transport for exploring the Old Harry coastline. We can take you to places you’ve never even seen, explore caves, arches and hard to reach beaches. Adventures 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 is to jump in a kayak and explore. Kayaks offer manoeuvrability that you just can’t get on any boat, giving you the ability to get into small bays and explore small rivers.
Kayaking offers an amazing sense of freedom. However, it does also present its own risks. By joining us on one of our kayak taster sessions you can enjoy the freedoms of the sport, under the safe, watch full eye of one of our experienced instructors.
