Step away from the noise and reconnect with the natural rhythm of the sea. This small group kayaking experience is all about slowing down, disconnecting from daily distractions, and moving gently along the coastline. With space for just 6 people, we’ll pause often to float, listen, and soak in the wild beauty around us. No rush, no pressure - just you and the sea.

Meet at our launch point, where you’ll be welcomed by your guide. We’ll take a few moments to settle in, introduce the experience, and ensure everyone is comfortable and prepared.
Kayak Introduction & Safety Briefing (10 minutes)
A short, relaxed briefing covering basic paddling techniques and safety — suitable for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.

Paddle gently past the rocky shoreline, seaweed beds, sandy beaches or hidden inlets.
Second Pause: Stillness & Reflection (15 minutes)
