What is the minimum age for taking out a kayak?
Minimum age is 12 years old and minimum height is 155 cm.

Are the kayaks doubles or single?
All kayaks are doubles, they are more stable and carry more weight compared to singles. It is possible to paddle them on your own if we have odd numbers.

What if I am pregnant?
Sorry their insurance company does not cover pregnant women due to the high risk.

What changing facilities are available?
Open plan / communal with separating curtains …it’s not the Ritz but it’s clean!

Not within the modest unit unfortunately although there are toilets nearby at three locations.
Showers can possibly be pre-arranged for a fee at nearby hotels The Limestone, Lulworth Cove Inn, Bishops.

What happens afterwards?

Picnic, fun games on the beach in the afternoon and a spot of SUPing (Stand Up Paddle Boarding) for those who fancy it.

What if the weather is bad?….. Opt for Reef Riders!
​This involves some exhilarating wave riding in surf kayaks, in the surf at the entrance to Lulworth Cove. Within a few paddle strokes the safe tranquil water in Lulworth Cove becomes a turbulent Atlantic swell. Under the supervision of our expert guides this has become a safe and extremely popular activity.

Groups: Please note if the weather for example is an intense electric storm we will cancel. Each person will receive a full price fully transferable voucher to be used at a later date (there are no refunds) .
