Excellent way to spend an afternoon! - I've never been Sea Kayaking before, so I was really nervous but our instructor; James, calmed my nerves really quickly. All the kit you need is included in the price, so there are no extra wetsuit hire costs and they also provide safety gear in case you take an unexpected swim. We got to see some Seals, some caves and James also gave us the history of the different areas we visited. The different areas gave us different sea conditions to experience and it was a really fun & exciting way to spend 2 hours. You need to allow for 3 hours, for getting changed before and after & the walk down to the launching spot. I would definitely recommend.

Kayaking and snorkeling with James - Had the best morning with James today. Started with a great friendly and professional meet at the shop, given all the gear and helped to put it on. Set off on our kayak tour started with a small walk down to the beech but was soon on the water. A great lesson on how to control the kayak and then a gentle paddle around the base of the coast, we encountered seals, birds and lots in-between. James was very patient with a couple of novices and with his intensive knowledge of the area we soon felt very comfortable and enjoying the experience. Snorkeling after was great, as first timers James was very understanding and a great instructor, after a couple of mouths full of water we were soon again swimming around enjoying the experience and seeing the local sea creatures. Can't thank James enough even going above and beyond while I renewed my parking ticket, Great instructor and made us feel relaxed and happy.

Sea kayaking ran by James - James ran our session this morning and did an excellent job. James was full of facts and fun. James even helped when one of the group lost their shoe in the harbour water. James helped with people who struggled with water confidence and added a load of joy to the session. It was a great session, we would highly recommend to anyone who is visiting the area!! Thank you very much James and the team.

Fantastic kayaking experience - This was our 2nd time using Newquay Activity centre and it was just as amazing as the first time. Myself, my mum and young kids opted for the kayaking and was absolutely not disappointed. We kayaked through a cave, saw a seal and found out lots of amazing stories about the history or Newquay which my kids have loved telling their cousins about. Our instructor Dave, was absolutely brilliant with both my kids making them feel at ease on the water. We'll definitely be back when we're down next year!

Funny sea kayak lesson - This class not only sea kayaking, we also have snorkeling and can't believe saw large groups of cornish crabs, seals, jellyfish... Lots of fun to my family and nice photos share by the instructor.
