Cullercoats Explorer
It’s not just about kayaking. It’s about the epic 360º coastal landscape that envelopes you as you learn about the history of the local area and further a field. Every trip is different, the changing tides reveal rockpools, shipwrecks, coves and caves. We know all the best bits, let us show you around.
Highlights typically include: Exploring rocky caves, coves and inlets, spotting coastal wildlife and the option to try a little sea swimming too. The session is dynamic in that it is tailored to the abilities of the group and the conditions on the day.
Price: £49 per person.
Suitable for: Adults and accompanied children ages 14+.
“Last Saturday I went on the coastal explorer trip, it was so much more fun than I could ever have expected! Went out in a group of eight; I had no experience but it was really doable and our guide made sure we all stuck together. The water was so clear and we could see some of a WW2 shipwreck which was amazing, and we had a chance to swim in the sea. Came home with a big ol grin on my face - I will definitely be back!”
