Sea Kayaking Wales

Explore the epic Welsh coastline on our sea kayaking tours in Pembrokeshire & north Wales

Sea kayaking is one of the oldest forms of paddling and a great way to explore the coastline while really connecting with the elements and nature. Our sea kayaking tours are tailored for your experience level and what you want to achieve from the session. Whether that is a relaxed fun paddle visiting caves & secluded beaches, or a more challenging session with sit-inside kayaks. We run 1/2 or full day kayak tours across Pembrokeshire and north Wales in the UK.

Big Blue Adventures specialises in group adventure travel including a range of outdoor activities, adventure day tours or multi-night breaks across Wales and Portugal. So, whether you just need to the book your sea-kayaking activity only, a fun day out or multi-activity holiday – we have you covered.

Are pictures and video included?

Photos and video are typically included in the day tour and multi-night trips only, but we can on request try and include pictures in the activity only. It does depend on our instructors.

How much will my sea kayaking tour cost?

Unfortunately that depends on many factors. They are all tailor-made tours and the cost does depend on:

– How many people are in your group
– Location of the kayak
– Whether it’s a 1/2 day, full day or multi-night tour
– Time of year can also have a factor

It really doesn’t take long for us to reply so either get a quote or contact us on the group chat today!

How can we pay for the adventure?

To book your Big Blue Adventure we take a small 30% non-refundable deposit to start and take the remaining 70% either 3 weeks before if it’s a day tour or activity sale, or 6 weeks before for any overnight packages.

If you are booking closer to the adventure date and within the 3 weeks or 6 weeks final balance deadline then we will require full payment upfront.

We mostly accept an easy bank transfer from the group leader, but on request we can easily set up a debit or credit card payment over the phone.

Are meals & drinks included?

We can include all your catering needs depending on the tour – it is tailor-made for your group! It all depends on what type of meal you want, how much budget you have and the itinerary. We work with some amazing local establishments and try to get our groups to connect to the culture through good food and good times.

We can also just factor in time during the tour to make a food stop and you can buy your own. It is flexible but we will cover this in our quote proposal to you.

What do we need to bring?

The kit you need to bring depends on the kayak. For 1/2 day and full day kayaks your essentials include:

  • A pair of old spare trainers or wetsuit boots is fine for kayaking
  • Swimwear or spare underwear for under the wetsuit. Try and avoid boardies as anything baggy can be very uncomfortable under a wetsuit
  • A towel (ponchos are also provided on day or multi-night tours)
  • Sun cream
  • Water (please try and avoid throw away single use plastic!)
  • Any medication you need to keep on you, such as an asthma pump

All the essential kit is included; The kayaks, paddles, spray decks (sit in kayaks), cags and any other essential kit suitable for the seasons, wetsuits, helmets, buoyancy aids and any gear your kayaking tour requires.

What group sizes do you take?

We take group sizes of 10+ people.

Do I need to be able to swim?

While we don’t expect you to be at an Olympic swimmer standard, you do need to have a small confidence in the water at least. As a rough marker you should be able to swim a length of the pool unaided, in a style you feel ok with non-stop, even with your head above water. You will have flotation devices and safety gear on with our experienced guides to help you, so don’t worry if you aren’t the strongest swimmer or the most confident. We just need to ensure you will react accordingly and be safe in the event you capsize or go for a swim!

Can I go kayaking all year round?

Yes for those who fancy it a winter or low-season kayak is of course possible. We have winter kit to keep you warm and you can have some beautiful adventures even in colder months. It’s just during winter we are limited to low daylight hours and more at the mercy of the weather gods with storms and harsher conditions affecting plans. So, for a winter kayak we suggest having some flexibility with some plan b dates in mind.

We had such a great time Canyoning with Big Blue Adventures. Jumping into the waterfalls,... traversing the rocks and navigating the river. Dan, Heleen and the instructors know exactly how to push you to get the most out of the experience, whilst ensuring you’re always safe.

We enjoyed it so much I decided to organise my brothers stag do through them as well. The whole weekend was perfectly organised from start to finish.

Everything was sorted for us. From our activities coasteering and sea kayaking to our food/drinks and a brewery tour. It was so good being able to switch off and enjoy our weekend knowing Big Blue had taken care of everything.

I couldn’t recommend Big Blue Adventures highly enough and can’t wait for my next adventure with them!

Why We Love This…

“Sea kayaking offers so much freedom on the Welsh coast. I just love paddling distances over the swells to new areas, stopping on remote beaches and getting so close to nature and feeling the elements. It’s a cool outdoor experience!”
