Kayak the Jurassic Coast with Fore Adventure

Stretching along England's southern shoreline, the Jurassic Coast is a stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its dramatic cliffs, fossil-filled beaches, and unmistakable geology. Among its most striking features is Old Harry Rocks, a trio of chalk formations rising sharply from the sea at Studland Bay, Dorset. Fore Adventure offers a 2-hour guided kayak tour that invites adventurers of all ages to witness this seascape from a front-row seat on the water.

Launching from Middle Beach Car Park in Studland, participants meet expert instructors who provide a thorough safety briefing and essential kayaking skills. Whether you’re a family looking for a shared outdoor activity or a small group eager for a unique coastal perspective, this trip accommodates beginners and intermediate paddlers alike. Double sit-on-top kayaks encourage camaraderie, while limited single and triple kayaks offer flexibility.

The paddle to Old Harry Rocks reveals more than just iconic limestone stacks. Along the way, you encounter swirling tidal currents, seabirds dipping close to the water, and glimpses of hidden coves that early mariners once navigated. These chalk formations are part of a coastline that records 185 million years of Earth’s history, etched in layers of rock shaped by millennia of natural forces.

Fore Adventure’s commitment to accessible, environmentally conscious outdoor experiences makes it a standout operator in the region. Their use of high-quality, well-maintained gear ensures participants remain comfortable and safe, while small group sizes maintain a low impact on this delicate coastal environment. Beyond the thrill of paddling, the tour is an engaging lesson in local geology and conservation, highlighting why the Jurassic Coast remains one of Britain’s premier outdoor destinations.

Whether you’re seeking a fresh watersport challenge or a memorable way to encounter Dorset’s natural wonders, Fore Adventure’s kayak tour combines adventure, education, and stunning scenery in a seamless package. Prepare to connect with the coast in a way few get to, framed by the white cliffs and sparkling sea of the Jurassic Coast.
