This was our first experience of sit on kayaks & it was exactly what we needed. There was no pressure. Kurt is an excellent instructor. He explained everything we needed without any of the negative traits that are sometimes found with other instructors. The length of the session was just right for us. Long enough for us to get comfortable and confident with the kayaks, but not so long as to get tired & start making silly mistakes. The location was pretty perfect. Ample free parking, good facilities, a very pleasant marina. The weather was fantastic too!

Thanks for your kind words Oliver, it was a lovely event with great weather. I'm glad you all had a good time & built some memories.

I thoroughly enjoyed our Explore Kayaking session & highly recommend it to other beginning Kayakers. It enabled us to try out sit-on kayaking in a safe & supported environment not to mention being in a beautiful area; even the weather was perfect! Our guide, Kurt, was very helpful & informative. One word of warning, if your hands blister easily, you may want to wear gloves while you are paddling.

Thank you Jo, looking forward to seeing you, Oliver & Alex again soon.

Kurt was a confidence inspiring guide who took things at a manageable pace. He was knowledgeable about the local area & had some good stories to fill in the rest periods. Given this is an intro to kayaking we didn't paddle far but we made it inland to a quiet beach with decent views & some great birdlife. You will get a wet backside & wet feet even if you stay in the kayak, but it's not really noticeable as you paddle along. I found the kayaks comfortable for the ride (I'm 6'2 86kg) and didn't have any issues fitness wise despite a sedentary day job. I'd happily visit Woolverstone again & go for a paddle with this company.

Thanks Liam, it was a lovely afternoon of paddling & good company.
