Experience the freedom of exploring Nelson Haven in a stable and easy to handle single sit on top sea kayak, perfect for those who prefer a seated adventure on the water. Launching from the golden sands of Tahunanui, you can paddle at your own pace while soaking up sunshine and coastal scenery. Kayaks perform well even when conditions become a little breezier, allowing you to travel further and enjoy a smooth, confident ride across the bay.

Discover a family friendly activity suitable for children from around eight years old through to adventurous adults, with the reassurance that all essential equipment is provided. After a helpful safety and conditions briefing, you are free to cruise along the shoreline or venture toward iconic spots such as Fifeshire Rock and Haulashore Island. With safety as a priority and flexible arrangements in changing weather, this kayaking experience offers a relaxed and enjoyable way to explore Tahunanui from a fresh perspective on the water.

I did the 2pm tour with my Mum. It was amazing to see our coastline from a different point of view. We saw plenty of marine wildlife, including grey seals basking on rocks. It was a great workout and a beautiful way to spend an afternoon. Jenny's friendliness and welcoming nature added to the experience!

We did the 5:30pm tour and couldn’t recommend it highly enough! Signup was smooth, reasonable price, clear communication beforehand, easy access for beginners, topped off by amazing views (including seals and local birds) and an excellent guide — thanks Philip!

Great craic. Phil and James were brilliant, taking us out on an engaging and fun kayak tour of Dalkey island. Great focus on safety and making sure there were plenty of breaks so no one was left behind or struggling. If you’re doing this I’d recommend bringing old shoes with you!
