Coached Sea kayaking Courses
A sea kayaking adventure is on many people's bucket list, but if you're a beginner, where do you start?
We want to make getting on the water and exploring beautiful coastline accessible to everybody. A great way of learning how to sea kayak is by combining exploration with coaching. We've designed our Cornwall Sea Kayaking Skills Course specifically to give you the best experience of what Cornwall has to offer, paddling new locations every day and developing all the skills you need to enjoy your adventures on the sea. This course is also a brilliant starting point if you'd like to build your experience to join one of our further afield expeditions.
Cornwall
Location
These days are not just about learning new skills, they are also an opportunity to explore some of Cornwall's beautiful coastline. Each day we choose a location near Falmouth which suits our needs and, weather conditions. Exploring the sheltered waters of the Helford passage, or if the weather is calm head to the rugged cliffs of the lizard peninsula.

WIldlife
The wildlife living in Cornish waters is rich and exciting. We will no doubt we will get to enjoy the curious company of young seals, and see the sea birds begin to build their nests on the most perilous cliff edges.
Kayaking is one of the finest ways to get close to nature. Traveling slowly and quietly allows us to experience wildlife in its most natural and relaxed state. You feel part of the environment, rather than just an observer.
Testimonial
Highly Recommended! We did a last minute sea kayaking trip with Erin to Cornwall and it was fab. Just what we needed to improve our skills but also enjoy some stunning Cornish coastline. Hope we can join Evoke Adventure again, maybe in Norway...
