About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Destination Sea Kayaking was created to showcase and support a network of exceptional sea kayaking coaches and guides. Each of the professionals we work with is someone we have either personally trained or had the privilege of working alongside over the years. Their expertise, passion, and commitment are at the heart of everything we do.
For our coaches and guides, we take care of the marketing, promotions, bookings, and administration, allowing them to focus on delivering outstanding experiences on the water. This also gives them the flexibility and control to offer the courses, trips, and coaching that best reflect their skills and interests.
We live and work on Anglesey, North Wales. We love adventures, the sea along with coaching and guiding like minded people to kayak in areas throughout the UK and Europe.
