Participant feedback from the
Seven Kingdoms: Isle of Man Sea Kayak Festival 2019
"IoM kayak festival 2019 was an absolute blast!
Top class venue and excellent coaching combined with Manx
hospitality makes it a unique and unforgettable event. The Adventurous
Experiences team made it feel like home at the same time delivering tons
of excitement and a sharp learning curve. I will be back!"
Anula Jochym - Sea Kayak Guide, Iceland
"A breath-taking, exciting
and exhilarating experience, and the perfect opportunity to develop my kayaking
skills whilst making amazing new friends."
Sally Brennan - Adventure Club, Isle of Man
“Fun, challenging and educational all in one. Left feeling
inspired to paddle even more : ) Watching the Risso dolphins acrobatics in the
waves was amazing!”
Anja Rydning - Sea Kayak Coach, Norway
“I relished the opportunity to paddle on the Isle of Man. I
look across from the Mournes and see the island in the horizon. It certainly
lived up to expectations, great tidal races, stunning coastline, great company
and lovely to meet other paddlers from all over the UK and abroad.”
Oisin Hallissey - Head of Paddlesport, Tollymore National
Outdoor Centre, N Ireland
"Great to meet the people, see the scenery and try out
the locations/venues. The training was custom made for our skill level, we got
to learn new techniques and push ourselves to try things we have not done
before. At the end of the week we combined it all in 'play days' at The Sound.
We are looking forward to being back again."
Lisalotte Kahrs - Arctic Nature Guide, Norway
"The Isle of Man could
have been designed by a paddler, with its dramatic scenery, tide races and
overfalls and coastline to suit all abilities it's a perfect venue.”
Tim Cass - Coach, Adventurous Experiences
“It was a good mix of instruction, practice and
training. The progression in the program and the skills training were very good
and well above what we expected. A big thank you to everyone who paddled with
us. Look forward to coming back!”
Kalle Lotveit, Outdoor Teacher, Norway
“It was an amazing
weekend of kayaking (especially the tide races). Thanks to Adventurous
