Top Devon Kayaking & Canoeing

The whole experience was brilliant and the hosts super attentive, I was even contacted the day before we were due to take part offering another day to take part because the weather was not looking too great.We still went on the day originally booked and even though a little windy and a bit of rain it didn’t dampen the experience at all.Full instruction given before we head out and throughout the safari too - it was a bit of a workout but so much fun!!We were lucky enough to see a bit of the local wildlife with a seal showing his face with information provided by the guide about their breeding habits and local seal population.My only regret is that me and my partner have not done it before and certainly will plan to do so again in the future!!Thank you for a great experience - totally worth the money without doubt!!

Fantastic. Well worth it. Brilliant guides even saw a seal.

Really great trip out from Teignmouth. Nils was brilliant. Really knowledgeable on the coast and area and some great stories of his kayaking adventures. Got instructions on starting and along the way and always felt safe in his hands heading off along the coast. Would definitely recommend this trip.

Fabulous morning with excellent instruction and interesting local knowledge. Really enjoyed and will join another trip in future even though I live quite far away!

Really great trip. Kieran our guide was excellent. We went into sea caves and saw seals. No experience necessary, but you are on the sea: one chap in our group capsized. He was rescued and wad fine, but it is not a row on the park boating lake.

Just book yourself on, don’t miss out! This was very well run, fully organised and felt safe even on a first time paddle. There was so much information about the coastal rocks and wildlife which was all very interesting. Caves to explore and marshmallows on the beach while we looked for fossils (after being shown what to look for first). We even had a seal come to watch us! Brilliant 3 hour trip which we would do again in a heartbeat. Thank you for a great afternoon experience.

Great day out. Nils was a great guide and teacher. We were accompanied by some very friendly seals! Would highly recommend Paddle Devon.

Brilliant on all front, well looked after by our 'leaders' always felt safe, and well looked after. Highly recommend this trip.

This trip ended up fun although it got of to a bad start. Despite me calling a couple of days before (as my message had not been answered) about whether we could wear flip flops or trainers or if we needed sea shoes, we arrived to be told that we were not on the trip list. I showed my confirmation and payment confirmation and was told that I must have booked the trip before a new system came into play - ok but surely that’s their issue and not mine. This also made for a large group of kayaks. However, we preceded to have fun, learn about the area, collect fossils and roast marshmallows. Kieran did apologise for being abrupt at the start but it was just unfortunate that that was how our experience began.

Had a wonderful trip. The guide was helpful and knowledgeable and made the experience fun even for novices. On top of that he took photos of us so we could have something to remember the trip by

We had a great time! It was quite rough but it made it more exciting, great knowledge and we had a lot of fun! From going through the caves to toasting marshmallows and trying samphire on the beach. Was not looking forward to the walk back up the really steep hill at the end to where you have to park as the last train back up the hill had stopped for the day, but Kieran was amazing and gave us a lift back up! Thanks Kieran for a great afternoon and the lift back up the hill it was greatly appreciated 😊. Would definitely recommend doing this!

Our sea kayaking trip in Torquay was an absolute highlight of our holiday with my husband and our 15-year-old son. The coastal scenery around Torquay is stunning from the water. We paddled into hidden sea caves and a little cove, inaccessible from the shore. Kieran, our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, safety-conscious, and very encouraging. He kept our group engaged with fun local history, geology and facts about the marine wildlife. It was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, giving us a great workout but leaving plenty of time to drift and take in the views. If you are looking for an unforgettable family outdoor activity in Devon that keeps both adults and teenagers happy, this is definitely it.

A super experience for all of the family. We booked as a family of 4 and had two tandem kayaks between us. Keiran the owner and guide was very knowledgeable. Time was spent ensuring everyone was set up correctly and knew what to do. There was no rush on the water and we could paddle along at a leisurely pace. Keiran shared a lot of knowledge on the natural history of the cliffs and caves and we were lucky to see seals sunbathing right next to where we were. The beach stop to sample seaweed, samphire and toast mashmellows was a nice touch. During the tour loads of photos are taken of everyone and then sent to each group free of charge which I think is amazing, as this sort of thing is usually charged extra for at as excessive rate. Thanks for a lovely afternoon.

Lots of fun, really interesting and really lovely and relaxing to be out in the sea. We found fossils, saw a seal and ate toasted marshmallows! Great after out! Definitely recommend.

Great experience, guide had great knowledge we had our 8 year old with us and he loved it would definitely recommend. After the trip the beach has also got great facilities with a train cart to ride you back up was reasonable and a fantastic experience.

A great location and very reasonable prices. They were very flexible when we asked to move our booking forward due to a last-minute change of plans. Attentive staff who watched out and ran down the beach to help us in with our boards at the end of the session.
