Intro to Sea Kayaking in Wales

You can store anything you need at the host's booking office where you will meet at the start of the trip.

As is the case with UK summers, every now and again the weather, swell, or wind conditions can take a turn for the worse and it may be the case that kayaking the original course isn't a viable option. Although this is rare (we will make it work in most conditions), safety is of course the priority. Plan B is to head to the north Pembrokeshire Coast around Fishguard and Newport, where the coastline is a little more protected. This is still very much a beautiful part of the coastline - think black sand beaches and rocky outcrops to negotiate on your kayak. In this case, you'll stay at the Harries & Sons campsite on the cliff edge in Newport.

You will be using a mixture of Perception, Dagger and Virgo kayaks - these are mostly solo kayaks but if you would like to share a tandem kayak with a friend, please let your host know when booking. The sea kayaks used on this trip are not suitable for a paddler weighing over 160kg. If you have any queries regarding this, please contact our friendly customer support team pre-booking.

Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.

Our team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination. We only work with independent, local, in-destination experts who know the very best places to explore and how to stay safe. Read more information about the local teams we partner with. You’ll be introduced to the host straight after making a booking via the Much Better Adventures platform.

Much Better Adventures refer to the UK Government’s official travel advice when designing trips and monitoring trip operations. We recommend that all customers are familiar with the practical information provided on the Government’s FCDO website, where current travel advice can be found by searching for the applicable destination(s).

For customers joining this trip from other international destinations – please also read the official travel advice applicable to your country of residence/origin, as this may differ.

We recommend checking out the country-specific information and also talking to a travel nurse.

We automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates on a daily basis so this does mean that prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time.

All of our group adventures are specially designed for adults to enjoy (18+) as we want these adventures to bring together outdoorsy people who are truly like-minded. Children can be accommodated on some private departures.

You're always in good company on one of our adventures.

Our trips are typically made up of a mixture of solo travellers and small groups of 2 or 3 friends, with most in their 30s-50s.

Our sociable adventures are solo-friendly by design and naturally attract outdoorsy people with a shared mindset; a love for adventure, a desire to push themselves and meet awesome, like-minded people along the way.

It’s this camaraderie that has so often turned a great adventure into a life-changing one.

Don't just take our word for it:

• 95% of people rate the group dynamics on our trips 5/5
• 90% of people recommend joining a trip to make new friends
• 75% of people have met people on our trips that they would now consider friends
