Discover the Deben Kayaking Trip

This event is designed for beginners on sit-on-top and touring kayaks in good conditions, nice weather & a following tide. This is a social event & an opportunity for guests to 'stretch their sea legs'. It isn't just physical health benefits this event provides but also the mental health of a fun social gathering with other like-minded people, all while enjoying the fresh air & exercise of the great outdoors. We all need a little of both from time to time!

Launching from Bawdsey Quay, we have approximately an hour of easy paddling up the Deben estuary with a following tide. This is a beautiful & quiet section of the estuary with plentiful birdlife & tranquil, scenic views. Chat along or just remain with your own thoughts as we paddle up to Ramsholt Arms where we'll land at high water on the beach. A break at the Ramsholt Arms pub for a hot drink OR bring your own & of course your packed lunch.

Retail guests have the choice of kayaks to choose from although this event is designed for beginners or slightly more experienced paddlers wanting an easy day paddle. 

NOMAD Sea Kayaking tries to complete a beach clean (conditions permitting) of all beaches we land on during your event, usually at the end of our lunch break & we ask our guests to participate. Please bring along a strong bin bag & gloves (as needed) to help us with the cleanup. This isn't compulsory but we all use the environment & we want to take care of it for future visitors & the marine wildlife that lives there. After all, this is our coastline.
