Did the 3 hour half day kayak trip yesterday with Lucy as our guide. What an absolutely brilliant experience! Can’t recommend it more highly and thank you Lucy for all your wonderful enthusiasm, interesting facts and for looking after us so well.
Absolutely brilliant kayak tour to Old Harry Rocks. The instructor, Kevin, was really knowledgeable and looked after us all very well. I hope to do it again some day!
My wife and I did this tour and had a fantastic time. The meeting instructions were clear, and our guide, Kevin, was brilliant. Really informative and clear, both about the area, and kayaking itself. The time spent at the rocks was unforgettable and makes the tour feel worth every penny. Would wholeheartedly recommend and would happily do the tour again next time we’re in Dorset.
Lucy was outstanding — her instructions were crystal clear, her manner genuinely cheerful, and she created an atmosphere where we felt completely at ease throughout. A truly brilliant experience.
Did the half-day tour out to Old Harry Rocks. Overall a really nice experience - great meeting spot, excellent tour leader, and seeing around the Old Harry rocks was great fun.
Myself and 2 friends did the 2 hour kayak trip to old Harry's rocks. Our instructor Kevin was excellent, he explained everything really clearly which made us feel safe and confident in the water even my friend who was incredibly anxious eventually felt safe and really enjoyed the experience after a bit of time and practice and Kevin kept checking on her which was really kind. He was also really knowledgeable and it was fascinating to learn about the local seagrass. It was actually Birthday and as a lovely special extra, everyone sang happy birthday to me back at the beach. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and we would definitely love to do the 3hr option next time. Thanks Kevin for making our experience feel safe as well as really good fun, there was a lot of laughter too. Kat, Ronnie & Amanda
Can’t recommend the kayak tour enough. Our instructor Kevin was so friendly and made everyone feel relaxed from the moment arrived at the meeting point. His instructions were clear and easy to follow and he was extremely knowledgable about the Studland area. We were extremely lucky to have such fantastic weather and were allowed to take our time, stopping to take photos and paddling through the arches at Old Harry Rocks. It was amazing to get so close, a really stunning sight! Can’t wait to go back again next time we’re in the area.
Thank you so much Dan and Kevin. This was a remarkable experience. My boys were tentative but you made them feel so safe and comfortable. Of course they loved it and want to do it again! I’ve sat looking at Old Harry’s since I was a child and to finally get up close was extraordinary. Your knowledge, set up and whole way is simply amazing. Thank you so much. We will definitely be back!
A wonderful first kayaking experience! Everything was clearly explained from the start, which made us feel comfortable and confident on the water. The instructor was incredibly helpful, friendly, and patient, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We had such a great time and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience!
Such a fantastic time - went with two teenagers and they also had a great time. It was a group of eight of us with one guide - perfect weather, and really good camaraderie as well. The guide was so friendly and great at keeping a group of different families together and checking in with everyone. Had such a lovely time, will definitely be back again.
