What exactly is an Old Harry Rocks Coffee & Cake Experience?

We will start at Knoll Beach, where we will hand out all necessary equipment and head on down to the water's edge. We’ll jump on the water and head out along the Jurassic Coast. You’ll be able to see the famous Old Harry Rocks from the start and before long we will be standing on the beaches of Old Harry up close. We will either stop there, or head on round to a quiet bay round the corner where we will sit down and tuck into a selection of cakes and a cup of coffee (or a brew if that's more your thing) and take the chance to fully appreciate the truly unique views.

 

Old Harry Rocks is a Chalk headland formation located at Handfast Point, on the Isle of Purbeck. A UNESCO world heritage site, with the famous 'Old Harry' Sea Stack sat at its eastern most point. The history of the site is somewhat disputed. Some say the rocks were named after a local pirate, 'Harry Peye', but some say they actually get their name from a nickname for the Devil. However, one thing that's definitely not disputed is that it is an awesome site to see....especially from the truly unique point of view of a Kayak!

What You've Said

We went kayaking with a fella named Chris. He was awesome and a great tour guide. Very patient with us and gave us plenty of photo opps (gotta do it for the gram y’all) but really let us appreciate the view.

If you’re looking for a great place to kayak and want a fab tour guide who is patient but also a great instructor we’d def recommend him and will be coming back.

Fantastic Kayaking trip Jordan was an excellent instructor made it all seem so simple and it was....highly recommended 5* Service

Such a fun time with Kelvin and Chris, these guys know their stuff! We had such a good time Kayaking around Old Harry Rocks and will definitely book with them again. Tip- Ask Kelvin to show off his roll in the kayak!

We suggest you also bring a towel and water bottle, you may also wish to bring a waterproof/windproof to take with you on the water.

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.
