Overview

EPIC KAYAKING ADVENTURES

As the number one provider of outdoor water sport activities in Newquay, our expert staff know the nooks and crannies of this coastline like the back of their hands. Your instructors will use their extensive experience to navigate this area and lead you on the most rewarding kayak adventure in Newquay!

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

You’ll first be taught the safety and fundamentals of kayaking at our activity centre near Towan beach. We are situated only a 5-minute walk from Towan headland.

Kayaking offers a different perspective from which to experience this epic stretch of coastline. You’ll paddle along the coast exploring secret bays which are tucked away from the paths above!

WILL WE SEE ANY WILDLIFE?

The Gazzle’s deep caves were once used by pirates and smugglers which means they are now steeped in a rich history, as well as playing host to native wildlife of all shapes and sizes. Inquisitive seals may even pop their heads up to say hello as you paddle past!

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
