Kayak
Explore the parts that other vessels can’t reach
Kayaking is a great way to explore the parts of Jersey that other boats can’t reach and the Island is among the world’s top sea kayaking destinations. There’s loads to see and a great variety of possible expeditions. Find your own private hideaway, see the Island’s wildlife close up, kayak through the west coast surf, skirt an offshore reef, or simply enjoy a quiet paddle in a beautiful bay. Whichever you choose, a number of local companies offer canoe or kayak hire.
For ‘fun canoes’ or those wishing to remain within a particular bay:
