Kayaking - Intro

Our two day, learn to kayak courses are aimed at those who have never been in a small boat or who have kayaked but never had any formal instruction. During the course you will spend plenty of time on the water around the coastline of north Pembrokeshire improving skills and enjoying the scenery. Our sessions can run from wherever the conditions suit the nature of the trip. Depending on this new skills will be learnt and old ones put to good practice. These courses are run in small groups to allow you to gain the most from the course.

Previous experience:- None required

Lunch can be provided by TYF with thanks to Food and Wine for £5 a head, including a filled baguette, crisps, fruit, a drink and a chocolate bar. Just let us know if you would like to order lunch when you book.
