Setting off from Canoe Wild’s new coastal base at the southern end of Kingsdown Beach, head out onto the water with an experienced guide to explore this beautiful stretch of coastline. Depending on the chosen route and conditions on the day, you may head south towards the chalk caves and White Cliffs of Dover, north towards Walmer Castle and Deal Pier, or further along the coast past dramatic cliffs, historic Second World War forts and a sunken shipwreck.
- Stable double sea kayaks are used for guided sessions, making this a memorable way to experience the Kent coast from the water.
- All sessions run on selected dates and times according to suitable tide and weather conditions. Routes may be adjusted where needed to keep each experience safe and enjoyable.
