Our fun kayaking sessions range from learning new skills, journeying along the spectacular Anglesey coastline, splashing in waves and playing games to gain skills and confidence. You will be in a sit on top kayak, which are super safe, easily manoeuvrable and stable, or there are tandem sit on tops if you would prefer.
WHAT MAKES IT SO GOOD?
We are fortunate to be in a great location with several beautiful safe beach a short distance from Anglesey Outdoors. This is a fun activity for families, friends, groups or team building and also offers a great opportunity to explore the coast of Anglesey from a different perspective.

WHAT WILL I BE DOING?
Sessions are generally 3 hours long, which includes traveling to the beach, changing into wet gear/safety briefing.You will meet the instructor at Anglesey Outdoors, where there are changing rooms for you to get into a wetsuit, plus buoyancy aid and helmet.
Then it’s just a short drive or walk to the beach – the venue changes depending on wind strength and sea state. You will be required to drive a short distance (less than 10mins) and provide your own transport for this.
At the beach, there is a short safety briefing then depending on the tide, you may also be asked to get involved with moving the kayaks a short distance down the beach, (less than 100m), this is part of the activity and you'll be helped by the other participants in the session.
Then it’s out on the water getting the hang of how the kayak moves and learning a few strokes if you are a novice. Once you are familiar with your kayak there is the opportunity for a journey along the Anglesey coast to discover remote sandy coves, sea caves and some amazing geology on the sea cliffs.
At the end of the session, you can return to Anglesey Outdoors for a hot shower or if you prefer, you can change by your vehicle, leave your kit with your instructor and head off.
Please Note: In Low Season the minimum number of participants for a session to run is 3 people.

“I would definately look to book again”
We really enjoyed our afternoon out with Richard, Kayaking from Trearddur bay. We particularly enjoyed weaving in and out of the rocks. Session was about the right length of time. The tea, cake and showers were very welcome when we got back too. I would definately look to book again, if we were back up this way.

WHO CAN GO KAYAKING? |
It’s a very friendly sport, so just about anyone can do it with something for everyone, young or old.
For journeys a reasonable level of fitness is useful and because of the need for controlling the paddle and having the strength to move the boat, we generally wouldn’t recommend kayaking for under 10’s. With our tandem kayaks we can take younger and less able clients, please check with the office for availability.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING? |
We’ll provide you with the most important things: Winter weight wetsuit, wetsuit hood (if really cold), helmet and buoyancy aids for those that need them.
You would need to bring:
- Swimming costume, to wear under the wetsuit. Gents, baggy shorts are not good under a suit, but trunks or even underwear are fine for this.
- Shoes that you are happy to get wet. Heavy clumpy shoes are not ideal neither is anything that would come off easily in the water, so bring some trainers or pumps etc.
- Towel, to get changed at the end. Depending on where we go this might be open air changing so a big towel is best.
- Some spare clothes to change into at the end of the day (don't forget underwear, socks etc. if you arrived ready to go!)
- That’s it! You need minimal stuff. If you do have any medication that you usually carry, make sure you bring that too, we can look after it for you at the beach.
DURATION OF ACTIVITY? |
We run kayaking as a half-day session though it can be combined with other activities, such as bush craft or coasteering to make a whole day session as a journey exploring the coast. Our half days run from 09:15 to 12:45 for morning sessions, or from 13:15 to 16:45 for an afternoon. Both are 3:30 hours long which is a good amount of time.
HOW MANY CAN PARTICIPATE? |
We work with 8 people to one instructor, if you are a few more than this we can always get a second member of staff too. We wouldn’t have more than 12 on the water at once though even with two staff.
WHERE DO YOU GO KAYAKING |
This very much depends on the weather, if it's perfectly flat calm, our local spot in only a 10 minute walk away where the kayaks will be ready for you,. If that venue isn't ideal we have a range of options within 20 minutes that take into account the tide and abilities of the group. There are beaches that get surf, a tranquil estuary for observing wild life, ‘rock hopping’ coastal journeys and even a bridge to surf through – so you can go more than once and have a totally different experience!
WHEN DO YOU GO KAYAKING? |
We can do it all year round but May through to September tend to be warmer air temperatures and better weather so that’s the prime time. We are lucky to be in a mild climate so even in March and April we can get out. The sea warms up all summer, so by October it’s at its warmest, and with Autumn storms rolling through we often get some surf to play on. We have full winter weight wetsuits that are designed for cold water, and with wetsuits hoods if it’s particularly chilly, most people are fine even at cold times of the year for half a day.
