Practical information

Do you want to combine a tranquil kayak lesson with an exclusive snorkelling adventure? This tour offers you the chance to experience both at the same time! The cliffs and caves along Newquay’s craggy coastline play host to an abundance of wildlife - but there’s also an incredible amount to be discovered below the water’s surface too.

The sheltered stretch of coastline known as ‘The Gazzle’ is just moments from our HQ located near Towan Beach. Throughout history, it has been shaped by storms and smugglers and now plays host to an array of native wildlife. But peer beneath the water’s surface and you will discover an exciting new world...

Armed with the knowledge and the appropriate gear, our expert instructors will help you navigate the rocky playground from your sit-on-top kayak. Whilst sharing its historic tales of pirates and shipwrecks. Once moored up in a sheltered tidal inlet, you will pop on your masks and discover the underwater marine ecosystem. If you're lucky you may see seals, dolphins, lobsters and starfish.

 

Course of events

Once fully kitted up, your expert kayak instructor will lead you in the basics of paddle strokes, kit familiarity, water safety and signals - finishing with a short warm-up before heading down to the water. From here, the Snorkel Kayak Tour will move at the group's pace stopping at areas of interest to answer any questions and to explore the magical world beneath!
