Our Brownsea Island sea kayaking adventure is a great introduction to
the sport and a unique way to see Poole Harbour. It lasts approximately
two and a half hours and takes you round the back of Brownsea where
you can explore this beautiful island.

Brownsea Island is literally teeming with wildlife - with a great range of inhabitants both common and rare. Brownsea is a haven for birds, insects, mammals and by kayaking around the island you can view some beautiful beaches from an amazing vantage point. Sea Kayaking is open to all ages and abilities, we have both single and
double kayaks and our BCU qualified instructor will ensure you are in
safe hands at all times. 
 
Interested but have reservations, check out some of the most FAQ’s:
 

  • Do I need to be a strong swimmer – No, whilst it is inevitable that you may get wet, you will be provided with wetsuit and buoyancy aid (all you need bring is a towel, swim wear and sense of adventure). 
  • Do I need to be physically strong – No, kayaking in Poole harbour is a safe and unchallenging environment to learn the sport. There are no real tidal issues or swell to contend with and our BCU qualified instructor will ensure you are safe at all times. 
  • What can I expect from the day – At GO AWOL we specialise in organising and delivering exciting outdoors adventure activities.

  • Am I in safe hands? – All GO AWOL activities are run by qualified instructors with many years experience. Our sea kayaking adventures are run by BCU qualified instructors that are both highly experienced but also have an excellent knowledge of the area making them great guides.
