We always start our A to B kayaking tours at Dinham Farm. After suiting up we either take a leisurely stroll down the road to Dinham Creek or take the big blue bus to Porthilly Cove.
These sessions use the incoming or outgoing tides to help us paddle the middle length of the beautiful Camel Estuary.
On the incoming tide we start at Porthilly Cove. After a quick lesson on the beach we start by heading through the start of the Porthilly Shellfish Farm learning about this key industry located on the Camel Estuary. Cruising along the banks of Gentle Jane we often stop for a rest and swim, enjoying the views across the river of the Iron Bridge and the sights of Padstow town.
As we head further upstream we enter an AONB and wildlife protection area here we have a good chance at spotting a flotilla of Swans, a gaggle of Geese, flock of oyster catchers, the occasional Grey Heron as well as the spectacular diving Shag or Commorant.
Our last stop is normally opposite the old Slate quarry at Penquean we will enjoy some tasty hot chocolate before setting off on the last leg to Dinham Creek. Then at the end of the session we stroll back to Dinham Farm. What an amazing adventure!!!
