Intro to Kayaking weekend

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. 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 weekend.
Previous experience:- None required
