Kayak Sessions at Aberdaron:

The introductory kayaking sessions will run from Aberdaron beach using single seat and tandem sit on top kayaks which are easy to paddle and are very stable.

Sessions vary depending on the sea conditions. When the sea is calm it will be a scenic journey and the chance to learn about this fascinating coastline, its rich local history and incredible wildlife, including sea birds like puffins and Manx shearwaters, as well as seals and porpoises. If the sea is rough and the weather is still favourable you can have a go at surfing in the waves.

During the session you will be looked after by a qualified kayaking coach who will provide you with all the necessary equipment and look after you throughout your adventure. You will need to bring swim wear, old trainers and a towel.

Sessions run from Aberdaron every Tuesday and Sunday from 23 July – 8 September.

There are two sessions a day, starting at 10:30am and 1:30pm, each lasting approximately 2 hours.

A session costs £35 per person. Payment is made on the day at Porth y Swnt visitor centre located at the entrance to the car park in Aberdaron. Payment can be made using card or cash. BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL.
