The Puffins are in!


A sunny sea kayak trip in the Isle of Man...


...with puffins, guillemots, razorbills, shags, seals and the promise of summer!
Taking full advantage of another day of really warm sunshine, Sea Kayaking on the west coast of the Isle of Man.


It's going to be a mighty busy weekend!


Sea Kayaking Experience - from Niarbyl


A stunning bay, sheltered by the 'tail of rocks' from which the location takes it name : )
Kitting up beside the thatched cottages, and paddling along the inlets, caves and rocky features that make the West Coast of the Isle of man such a great place to experience sea kayaking.


 A great way to show your visitor the Isle of Man from a different perspective!

Sea Kayaking and Coasteering


Sea Kayaking Experience in the Isle of Man


I was on the water at 6:30am yesterday morning, in time to catch the sunrise at Sugarloaf Caves with Olly and Jarlath. An early start Sea Kayaking experience as the lads are visiting the Isle of Man for a couple of days... and requested a day of real adventure : ) We love that kind of brief!


Coasteering Experience in the Isle of Man


Myself and Sam led today's Coasteering Experience. Kitting up at Ballabrooie, Adventurous Experiences base and then heading to Bradda Head in Port Erin. They explored the south west coastline of the Isle of Man, for a belting coasteering route to kick off the summer season : )



 Catch you on the water soon : )
