KAYAKING
ADVENTURES
IN PEMBROKESHIRE
Beginner Friendly Coastal Kayak Trips in Wales
Experience the magic of kayaking in Pembrokeshire with a half or full-day kayak adventure. More than a paddle – it’s a welcome break from the busy pace of everyday life.
Ideal for families, beginners and paddlers who want to build their confidence on the water, we can adjust the tempo of the session to keep everyone feeling confident and comfortable.
These private group kayaking sessions along the St Davids coastline offer calm waters, amazing views, and a rare opportunity to fully escape from it all. Get a good blast of sea air as you flow with the currents that wrap around the exposed headlands past natural arches, gullies, and waterfalls.
You don’t even need to remember to snap photos as you go; we’ll do all that for you so you can concentrate on enjoying the ride.

WHERE WE GO KAYAKING ON THE PEMBROKESHIRE COAST
Lots of people go kayaking here, but not like we do. We use our local knowledge, tides, wind, and your group’s energy to choose the route that feels just right.
Lesson locations all depend on the daily conditions, although we do have a few firm favourites, including:
No two kayaking tours are the same, but each one shows you the most picture-perfect, soul-stirring places on the West Wales coast. Think:
- Remote coves and sheltered bays of the St Davids Peninsula
- Sandy Blue Flag beaches and secluded sea caves of St Brides Bay
- Time-worn fishing harbours and winding inlets
Salt-sprayed rocky outcrops teeming with choughs, gannets, and seals

KAYAKING FAQS
Is kayaking safe? +
Yes. At the Real Adventure Company, safety is our absolute priority. We use sturdy sit-on-top kayaks that are nice and wide, and perfectly balanced. Plus, we give you all the expert tuition you need to stay safe on the water. And our expert instructors are with you at every paddle stroke.
What’s so special about your private kayaking tours in Wales? +
As we specialise in small group, custom-made adventure activities, you get a more personal experience to share with the people you know and love rather than a big group of strangers. As each session is designed to accommodate every member of your group, you can relax and enjoy yourself much more than with a standard outdoor adventure company that takes a one-size-fits-all approach.
Do I have to be super fit to go kayaking? +
No. Our half-day beginner kayaking trips are designed to be low-impact and enjoyable for a wide range of fitness levels. We go at a gentle pace, take breaks, and tailor each session to your comfort and abilities.
Will we still go kayaking if the weather is bad? +
We can operate in the rain, but if conditions are unsafe (strong winds, big swells, thunder), we will reschedule – safety always comes first.
Do you provide transport? +
No, you will need your own transport to and from the activity locations.
How do I book kayaking in St Davids? +
Simply contact us via the website or by phone and we’ll help you plan your private sea tour of West Wales.
