Kayaking IN JERSEY

On kayak, you can explore the various caves and rocks to swim off around the island that are usually inaccessible by foot. You will be able to get a feel for Jersey’s unique and isolated coastal environment that you can’t experience any other way. Explore the caves underneath La Corbière lighthouse or jump off St Catherine’s breakwater on a sunset sea kayak tour. Whether you choose to paddle through the west-coast surf or cruise along the northern shoreline to see the stunning clifftops, there is something in Jersey for all ages and abilities.
