Evening and daytime paddles.
2 ½ hour tours after work or during the day. A chance to ‘decompress’ and discover the hidden Jersey. Slip beneath huge sea cliffs. Discover magnificent sea caves and sea arches. Get close to the wildlife and perhaps see Puffins, Dolphins or even Sunfish.
Greve de Lecq
This is a spectacular area of the coast. Explore huge sea caves and creep beneath the cliffs as you head towards L’ile Agois and the tiny island. Alternatively paddle west towards Plemont and perhaps land in the huge cave known as Le Creux Gabourel to see the remains of the raised beaches. Perhaps even see a puffin (note: Puffin only nest on the island May to July and should not be unduly disturbed).
The Towers.
Explore Jersey’s very own wilderness. Paddle out to Icho Tower or Seymour Tower.
Gutters & Gullies.
At low tide a huge expanse of rocks and pools is exposed off the south-east coast. Paddle from Green Island and explore the gutters, gullies and hidden beaches. At high tide this area vanishes beneath more than 20ft of water.
Castle paddle.
Set off from the beautiful pebble beach at Archirondel. Cruise round to Anne Port past Geoffrey’s Leap to Mont Orgueil Castle. Stop at Gorey harbour for a drink then paddle back to Archirondel.
Lighthouse paddle. 
Leave from St Brelade’s Bay and paddle round the coast to Beauport Bay. Pass between huge sea cliff pinnacles. Continue beneath the pink granite cliffs towards La Corbiere. This area of coast has lots of bird life and a rich history.
Gros Nez.
Depart from L’Etacq at the north end of St Ouen’s Bay. Paddle past Gros Nez castle to Plemont beach. Continue round past the Puffins (May to July) to Greve De Lecq. Half day one way, or a full day return trip.
North Coast Paddle.
Set off from Rozel harbour and travel all along the north coast past Bouley Bay and Bonne Nuit to Greve De Lecq exploring the caves on the way. After lunch continue past Plemont to L’Etacq and transport back to Rozel. Full day or half day.
Les Ecrehous.
Travel to and from Les Ecrehous by charter boat and then kayak the reef. For the more experienced we offer a paddle across option using either sit on top or closed cockpit sea kayaks.
Discover this extensive and unique reef mid-way between France and Jersey. It is a site of unique interest and one of Jerseys treasures. Les Ecrehous featured on BBC TVs Coast when the presenter Neil Oliver explored Les Ecrehous by sea kayak with Director Derek Hairon

At low tide it is reputed to reveal an area as large as Jersey. At high tide only the tiny islet of Maitresse Ile remains with its stone fisherman’s and quarryman’s cabins.
Maximum of 8 clients.
