Poole Harbour Kayak BBQ Experiences

Kayaking is the best way to get up close and personal with the truly awesome coast line we have here in Dorset. The unique manoeuvrability of a Kayak means we can take you to places you’ve never even seen, explore hidden bays and land on hard to reach beaches. Combine that with having a BBQ on the beaches of Poole Harbour and that’s one truly unique experience you won’t find elsewhere.

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!

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!

FAQ's

What's a private experience?

Our private experiences offer you the opportunity to experience our awesome Activities, surrounded by only you and your Friends and Family! These kind of sessions are popular with families and stag & hen groups alike.

Our private experiences also offer more flexibility regarding dates.

What are the facilities?

All our Paddlesport now takes place at Knoll Beach in Studland. On site the National Trust have Toilets and a Caffe. We recomend arriving ready to go out on the water as it is a bit of a time consuming walk to head over to the toilets to change!

What do I need to bring?

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!

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.

Do I need any Kayaking experience?

For any of our longer trips we do suggest you have some experience of Kayaking. If you've never been Kayaking before, take a look at our Taster Sessions first.

What about the weather?

You're already getting wet right? What's a bit of rain between Adventures? We try our best not to cancel any sessions but sometimes the great British weather has other ideas! If a session is cancelled by us we will look at rescheduling you in when convenient for you.

Coasteering & Climbing are very physically demanding Adventurous Activities. For our open sessions we ask all participants are over the age of 14.
