Kayaking & Canoeing – North Devon Explorers

North Devon Explorers prides itself in providing high quality bespoke kayaking & canoeing tours or coaching.

All trips and coached sessions are run by me and I hold both the British Canoeing’s Sea Kayak Leader and Canoe Leader awards and I am also a Level 2 coach in paddlesport.

I cater for everyone of all ages and abilities, whether you have paddled for years and want to explore somewhere new, or you have never picked up a paddle before, but fancy trying something new.

North Devon has a breathtaking coastline, with Grey Seal colonies, sea caves and delightful secluded bays that are only accessible by boat. Kayak trips are an amazing way to explore the stunning environment as wildlife is far more accepting as kayaks glide by quietly, the odd Porpoise has been known to swim over to me to see what’s going on. Paddling into caves or through holes in the UK’s highest sea cliffs is another must.

Head inland and explore the Taw and Torridge estuaries which really let you see Barnstaple and Bideford from a different perspective whilst paddling down hidden back waters that you get all to yourself. The bird life on the estuaries is abundant and the rural inland scene that we paddle through is so peaceful and serene. These trips can be done in both kayak or Canoe.

Canoeing is also great for the winter months as you can stay dry and wrap up in lots of warm layers (your normal clothes)!

I will discuss with you what you would like to see and do and based on the weather conditions and the tide, I will help you to come up with a trip that will remain in your minds forever!
