Glide with the Tide Experience - your own private sea kayaking and food tour (3hrs) £89pp based on two people
A unique way to discover a beautiful marine environment and its riches. Taking out a kayak is an amazing way to explore Strangford Lough.
Down at water level, you are in tune with the tides, the outdoors, the sea. Gliding softly along brings you closer to the lough’s wildlife, including seals and wild geese.
If you are lucky in the morning you may encounter otters. Beginners are in safe hands with John Hubbucks, a kayak expert who has taught many people, of all abilities, to paddle. He also knows Strangford Lough intimately and can help you explore its crystal-clear water, islands and inlets.
To top it all, he is a trained chef and, if the tide and season is right, he will take you foraging for mussels which you can cook together and enjoy with a local Irish whiskey cream sauce. Don’t miss out on the amazing Irish Smorgasbord with some of the finest foods from local Strangford producers.
What to expect
Normally meeting at Whiterock Killinchy, Northern Ireland at 6.30pm for our evening sessions, enjoy a relaxing paddle on the beautiful Strangford Lough for roughly 2 – 3 hours of paddling depending on weather conditions.
All equipment is provided; individuals will need to wear warm comfortable clothing, and suitable footwear that may get wet. Bring a change of clothes with you, just in case. A windproof jacket is recommended, as it can get very windy and cold on the water. We do not recommend wetsuits as they can be restrictive, unless you plan on lots of swimming!
A sea kayak is a kayak developed for the sport of paddling on open waters of lakes, bays, and the ocean. They trade off the extreme maneuverability of whitewater kayaks for cargo capacity, ease of straight-line paddling, and comfort for long journeys. Sea kayaks can accommodate paddlers together with room for camping gear, food, water, and other supplies. Our single Pyranha Sea Kayaks do not have rudders but do have a skeg, we’ll teach you all about this when we meet.
What to expect
Our double (two person) sea kayaks do have rudders and are suitable for all abilities, you can indulge in a relaxing tour watching wildlife and soaking up the scenery – Kayaking Northern Ireland is a paddling paradise.
Strangford Lough is one of our favourite locations for canoeing and kayaking. You have so many options to explore and be rewarded with an abundance of marine creatures, astonishing scenery, uninhabited islands and beautiful wildlife. We can also offer an overnight staying in a bothy on Salt Island owned by the National Trust. You never know, you might even wake up with a sheep next to you or whilst kayaking get a seal or porpoise popping up beside you!
