About this tour

Paddle along Pembrokeshire's dramatic Tenby shoreline on this three-hour guided kayak expedition. You'll navigate past the town's distinctive promenade, sweep around North Beach, and head seaward towards Monkstone Point. Weather permitting, venture into the sea caves fringing St Catherine's Island—a perspective most visitors never reach. All equipment supplied; no prior paddling experience needed.

Highlights

  • Paddle Tenby's working seafront and North Beach arc
  • Reach Monkstone Point's exposed headland if conditions allow
  • Explore St Catherine's Island sea caves (weather dependent)
  • Sit-on-top kayaks suit nervous and confident paddlers alike
  • Full wetsuits or waterproofs provided to match conditions

What to expect

You'll launch from a sheltered spot near Tenby and spend the first hour building confidence with basic paddle strokes and boat handling. The second hour takes you further out along the coast, where the geology opens up—towering cliffs, hidden coves, and if the swell cooperates, the otherworldly sea caves of St Catherine's Island come into view. Conditions dictate the final hour; calm days mean deeper exploration; rougher weather means a shorter, equally rewarding coastal loop. Expect to be wet and slightly cold, but never out of your depth.

Good to know

Guides assess sea state and swell on the day; cave exploration isn't guaranteed. Not suitable for those with back or spinal issues. Fitness level doesn't matter—paddling is low-impact and your guide adapts the pace. Public transport serves Tenby town centre; the launch site is within walking distance.
