Some experience necessary.
These day trips take in some of
Pembrokeshire's exposed headlands and offshore islands
and are planned on dates which combine with some
of the fantastic natural sights you enjoy, from
Puffins on Skomer to Seals on Ramsey.
Having paddled before you will
have the skills to undertake longer journeys and
cope with moderate sea conditions. Due to the location
of these trips you will spend longer periods of
time in the kayak and may not be able to land all
day, as such they are unsuitable for beginnners.
