Kayak and Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP)

We have Kayaks and Paddle Boards for hire, or you can bring your own!

Come and enjoy a paddle around the Ocean Walker Academy Crystal Lake and our 4 islands!
With an easy ramped entry/exit for kayaks or step right off the jetty onto your SUP.
 

Each 50 minute session also gives you an additional 20 minutes on top to enjoy your time at our venue either with a walk around the lake and garden area or enjoying a hot drink and cake from our cafe.

Please note: Buoyancy aids are compulsary. When you hire a Kayak or SUP board from us, you will be supplied with a lifejacket to wear as part of the hire.
