The Yorkshire Coast is without doubt one of the most impressive coastlines located in the United Kingdom. From picturesque beaches to rugged cliff tops home to an abundance of wildlife its fair to say the local area has it all.
The half day 'Beach & Bite Tour' is our most popular excursion. Starting from the calm waters of Scarborough's North Bay you’ll learn some basic kayaking skills from one of our awesome sea kayaking instructors before setting off to explore the surrounding coastline.
Once out on the water you'll learn about all our local history whilst skirting along the headland. The local Seal population love to check out what's going on above water so don't forget your cameras and keep an eye out for the passing Porpoise! They are always hunting small fish in the shallows.
When your arms begin to get tired we'll take you to a little secluded spot for a bite to eat and drink, a quick leg stretch, and a quiet place to just take it all in.
Once everyone in the group is fed and watered a gentle journey back to the shop will take place!
This awesome tour takes roughly three hours!
