Exploration Venues
Guernsey has an incredibly beautiful coastline, ranging from delightful sandy bays to craggy towering cliffs. It has deep caves, hidden bays, tiny offshore islands, gullys and rock pools all teeming with sealife. The massive tidal range means that it is all constantly changing too! no trip is the same as new rocks and passages are revealed on a falling tide, or previously inaccessible caves or gullys can be reached as the tide rises.

We are never alone on the sea either. Sea birds can be observed without disturbance (we have floated past puffins in Herm almost close enough to touch) The occasional seal will sometimes raise it's head (there is one at L'Eree that says hello every year), paddle into a shoal of fish and they will leap into the air just in front of your boat.
All this, plus geology, tidal movement, and history mean that once you have mastered the kayaking you will never tire of the view.
Rocquaine
Rocquaine and L'Eree bays form one of the most picturesque seascapes in the Channel Isles. Stretching from the working harbour of Portelet to L'Eree headland and the Island of Lihou, overlooked by the Hanois lighthouse and guarded by Fort Grey there is a wealth of history and the internationally protected environment provides memorable paddling, time and time again.

Cobo
Cobo and Grande Rocques bays are popular for their beaches but it is the rock formations in the bay that are of more interest to paddlers. A huge reef in the centre constantly changes and gullies appear that just beg to be explored. Flag rock is a 'must', paddle out and then scramble to the top to get an unbelievable view of the entire West Coast.

Havelet and Fermain
Sheltered Havelet Bay under the ramparts of Castle Cornet in St Peter Port is one of the best places to get used to paddling a kayak for the first time. It is also the starting point for one of the best short journeys on the Island. From the bathing pools and past picturesque Soldiers Bay, paddle gently past the hordes of shags on the rocks to Fermain which is a strikingly beautiful bay to paddle into.

Petit Bot
Petit Bot is a rock lovers paradise, there are so many gullys to play in! Countless caves to explore by kayak or leave the boat on a deserted pebble beach and explore on foot. It is breathtaking, serene and magnificent. We guarantee you will not forget this one!
