Swap the busy seafront for the open water and see Brighton from a whole new angle on this kayaking adventure. Glide along the coast with the famous chalk cliffs rising above you and soak up the views of this lively seaside city from the best seat in the house, a kayak! No experience needed, just bring your sense of adventure and let the friendly instructors take care of the rest.
Your trip kicks off at Brighton Marina, where you can grab a coffee, have a browse, and leave your stuff safely stored. From there, you’ll paddle east towards the quieter side of the coast, exploring hidden stretches of shoreline beneath the dramatic white cliffs. The journey takes you past peaceful spots like Ovingdean and Rottingdean, far from the crowds, with plenty of time to enjoy the scenery at a chilled pace.
Instructors will be close by to give tips on everything from steering straight to keeping control of your kayak, making sure you feel confident and have fun on the water. And if you’re up for it, the session finishes with an optional capsize drill, a fun way to push yourself (and cool off with a splash!).
Perfect for anyone who loves being outdoors or fancies trying something new, this kayaking experience makes a brilliant day out and an unforgettable gift for adventurers. Expect stunning views, new skills, and plenty of laughs along the way.

What to Bring
For all kayaking sessions, participants should come prepared with warm, waterproof clothing. A full kit list will be provided upon booking, but here’s a general guide:
The above is a general guide, and appropriate seasonal clothing is recommended. A dry bag is useful for keeping items safe on the water and for storing wet clothes afterward.
*Clothing should consist of several layers to help retain warmth. Avoid wearing denim, as it restricts movement, feels cold when wet, and takes a long time to dry. Footwear is required for kayaking—old trainers or plimsolls are ideal, while sandals are not suitable. Wetsuits aren’t necessary, as they are only effective when wet; however, if you prefer to wear a wetsuit, we still recommend bringing a warm top to wear over it.
