This tour provides the opportunity to get within proximity of Coquet Island seabird sanctuary with the minimal amount of impact on the nesting birds.  Amongst the highlights, between April and August the island is home to up to 20,000 Puffins, everyone’s favourite! Plus boasts the largest breeding site in the UK of Roseate terns our rarest seabird.

The island is also home to a large colony of grey seals that occupy the island year-round these local seals are very curious and will often approach within a paddle length of the kayaks. If you are lucky then there is the possibility of a chance encounter with dolphins as pods regularly visit the area.

Please note this tour is for experienced kayakers only and requires a good level of fitness to take part.  Landing on the island is not permitted due to the fragile nature of its environment and therefore once we leave the harbour mouth there is no opportunity for getting ashore to rest.   If you are unsure as to whether your ability level is suitable for the tour, please call the office to check prior to booking. Due to the committing nature of this paddle the tour is only available to those 18 and over.

This tour is very weather dependent so dates will normally be advertised at quite short notice when the opportunity presents. Please check the webpage regularly for availability.
