About this tour
A two-day Dorset adventure combining kayaking and wild camping on the Jurassic Coast. You'll paddle sheltered waters, cook meals outdoors, and sleep under canvas with all kit provided except your sleeping bag. The weekend builds fitness and self-reliance through direct engagement with the landscape, moving at a pace that tests but doesn't overwhelm. Designed for those seeking tangible outdoor challenge rather than comfort-focused retreat.
Highlights
- Kayak launch from Dorset's Jurassic Coast waters
- Camp two nights with full meal service included
- Paddle coastal routes in small group format
- Cook and eat communally in camp setting
- Tent, roll mat, and camping structure supplied
What to expect
Expect physical exertion on both days. The kayaking portion covers sheltered waters suitable for intermediate paddlers; the pace is steady but demands sustained effort. Nights are spent camping rough—you'll have a tent and mat but should bring your own sleeping bag and weatherproof clothing. Meals rotate between packed lunch on the water and camp-cooked dinner and breakfast. Mornings are cool and unhurried; evenings focused on simple food and rest. No heated facilities or private space. The weekend suits those comfortable with basic conditions and genuine outdoor work.
Good to know
Bring your own sleeping bag and personal camping gear not listed. Moderate fitness required; poor cardiovascular health not advised. Prams and service animals accommodated. Check weather before packing—Dorset coastal conditions change rapidly. Arrive with waterproof layers and sturdy footwear.
