Sea Kayaking Tour

Sea Kayaking with CBA

Why Sea Kayak?

We are blessed with some of the most impressive coastline in the west. High cliffs, islands, caves and of course the resident bottlenose dolphin pod makes our Sea Kayaking one of our firm favourite activities.


A popular activity, that allows you to visit the world in which dolphins and seals have their fun. Sea Kayaking in Pembrokeshire is one of the best ways to see Britain’s only Coastal National Park.


What happens?

After you are taught to basics of paddling the kayak and given time to practice, the instructor will then take you out into the sea. No two sea kayaking sessions are ever the same. Wind, waves and tide are constantly changing the sea state so you’re always guaranteed a unique journey. Our qualified, local instructors will lead your group into areas of the coast which would be inaccessible any other way, giving you the opportunity to see spectacular geology and marine life in untouched habitats.


Our Sea Kayak sessions always adapt to the conditions on the day, so generally the trip is more of a tour in calm sea states and more of a surf/rock hopping type get-wet activity in more ‘lively’ conditions.

Yes -  Sea Kayaking can be done in the rain.

Are kayaks stable?

For introduction sessions we use a sit on top kayak. These are stable and have no inside for you to worry about, if you fall off just climb on again.

What happens if the sea is really rough?

Rough seas can make the activity more fun in most cases, however it is really rough we will contact you prior to the session to make alternative arrangements. This could be a different location which is protected from the rough sea or an alternative activity if they sea really is unsafe to be in like using the local river. 

Can we change our Activities?

Yes, you would just need to let us know in advance, and the more notice you give us the more flexible we can be.

Can I wear contact lenses or glasses?

Yes: people do where contact lenses and say its ok but I don't where them so just go on others word. Glasses can be worn but its best to have a leash attached. If they fall off or get broken we can not be held responsible. If they are important to your driving think wisely before taking on session.
