Sea Kayak Tours in Jersey

Discover another world as you explore the Jersey Tidal Trail on a guided sea kayak tour.

Our choice of user-friendly single or tandem-sit-on-top kayaks means you’ll quickly master the basics.

This is more than just a kayak trip. Paddle in a small group with some of Jersey’s most experienced local guides, who will share their passion for our island’s wildlife and history with you.

Kayak with PaddleUK, Wild Life Safe (WiSe), and Visit Jersey-trained guides in the Jersey Island GeoPark.

This tour is suitable for all ages and abilities. Novices are welcome.

We provide all water sports equipment, buoyancy aids, and full-length sleeveless wetsuits.

We pay close attention to wind and swell forecasts. As a result, we will only kayak some coastlines if the conditions are suitable. Experienced paddlers or those wanting to explore cliffs and caves that may be prone to swell (provided the forecasts are suitable) should contact us to arrange a private tour.  The venue and meeting point are confirmed for those booked by SMS text the evening before, once we have checked the weather forecasts, so that you can kayak in a suitable location.

Sit-inside kayaks are not available on this tour. If you want to use a sit-inside sea kayak, contact us to book a private tour.

Adults: £49.50; Children (minimum age for kayak tours is five years) 5-16 years: £36.50. Adults usually paddle single-seat sit-on-top sea kayaks. Tandem kayaks are available for adults if requested when you book. Children under 11 years go on a tandem with a member of your party.

Private tours can also be booked.

Eco-discount if you arrive by bus, taxi, electric vehicle, cycle, or on foot.

About our Sea Kayak Tours

Our equipment and approach are designed to maximize your enjoyment and success. Director Derek Hairon is the author of the UK’s best-selling manual on sit-on-top kayaking and the Channel Island Sea Kayaking Guidebook.

Choose single or tandem sit-on-top sea kayaks. For the more experienced, we have closed-cockpit sea kayaks, high-performance kayaks, and surf skis.

Who are our tours suitable for?

Our sea kayak tours suit adults and families who want to explore our magnificent coastline and wildlife.

Anyone who enjoys being in the outdoors and on the sea.

No previous experience is needed. Our expert staff and user-friendly sit-on-top kayaks will give you the confidence to have fun afloat as you explore the coastline.

Our sit-on-top sea kayaks are stable. However, this is a water sport, and you might fall in, so expect to get wet. We supply wetsuits from children to XXL (ladies sizes 8-18), windproof jackets, and all safety kits.

Unlike sit-inside kayaks, there is no need to worry about capsize drills and “wet exits”. If you request a sit-inside kayak, you must have previously used a spray deck and have done a wet exit with a spray deck. Please note: We do not take paddlers afloat in a sit-inside kayak without a spray deck.

Expect to get wet, so do not take cameras, mobile phones, car keys, etc. on the tour unless you are sure they are fully waterproof. If in doubt, you can leave them in our vehicle.

Our departure points

We pay close attention to the wind and swell forecasts. As a result, we will only kayak some coastlines if the conditions are suitable. Experienced paddlers or those wanting to explore cliffs and caves which may be prone to swell (providing the forecasts are suitable) should contact us to arrange a private tour.

The venue and meeting point are confirmed -to those booked- by text the evening before once we have checked the weather forecasts, so you kayak in a good location.

Fitness

Kayaking is an active sport and involves physical effort. You should be of average fitness and in good health. Please contact us before booking if you find it difficult to sit upright for any length of time. As a rough guide, if you drive your car with a very reclined seat, you may find sitting on the kayaks arduous, even with back support. A way to check if you will be okay is to sit on the floor with your legs in front of you and maintain an upright posture.

In the event of a capsize, you need to be able to get back on board with assistance. This is like climbing out from the side of a swimming pool by pulling/sliding yourself onto the poolside (without pushing off the bottom of the pool with your feet). If this is difficult for you or a party member, please contact us before you book.

Heights and weights

For your enjoyment and safety, please help us ensure we have the correct sizes of kit and kayaks available by telling us your clothing size when you book. We may not have the right equipment for your trip without this information.
If you weigh over 15.2 stone (96kg) or have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 33+, you must tell us your height and weight (use the additional information section). Sometimes, we may suggest we meet in advance to try out the kayak and re-entry techniques. Calculate your BMI.
