Gain a new perspective on the Isle of Man...

....through a sea kayak trip, with Adventurous Experiences!














It's been Seals and Basking Sharks galore on the West coast of the Isle of Man recently :)





















"I spent this morning on an adventure with Caitlin and Laura, paddling from Port Erin to the Calf Sound, in and out of the inlets, taking a break with the seals swimming all around us. An inquisitive seal pup nibbling the kayak toggles or gnawing the paddles... it was spell binding! Eventually we tore ourselves away, and with our friendly little escort, set off on the return journey. Keeping close to the cliffs, we passed three Basking Sharks feeding on the surface, swimming right up underneith the kayaks... wow factor running high, we hit the beach a few minutes late...

What a phenomenal morning." Keirron

A journey by sea kayak or Coasteering - giving a new persepective on the coastline, the marine life around us, and life in general...

A guaranteed Unforgettable, adventurous experience!











Then it was off to the Chasms on the South Coast for an afternoon's rock climbing in the sun on Tower Buttress and Tower Slabs...

Looking down, we spotted Jan and Terry paddling below, past Sugarloaf Cave and sea stack, teeming with birds.







Finishing with a trip to Peel to pick up Nico and Jukka, who had been running the day trip from Port Erin, encounting a further three Basking Sharks and numerous Seals along the way....













I love summer on the Isle of Man!!!

A few pics to come from yesterday's evening paddle, and the Coasteering session with two Basking Sharks feeding just off the rocks nearby!!


Gorge Scrambling is one of our adventures which can be experienced in all sorts of weather, sheltered in a naturally stunning glen and the 6mm Sola steamer wetsuits make it very enjoyable too!



Finally a shot from last Monday's Viking Longboat Boat - Race Training... The Adventurous Experiences team were the first on the water in 2009!
Looking forward to this coming Monday for more blisters, and the Race itself on Saturday 22nd August :)


Seems a sailing boat misjudged the water depth...
