Level 1 is where your sea kayaking journey begins. Over a few days on the water, you will learn the strokes, rescues, and trip-planning skills that make paddling safe and enjoyable in calm, sheltered coastal conditions.

The goal is to build your confidence for a full day on the ocean, paddling with a group, exploring protected coves and island shorelines, and beginning to imagine what new adventures become possible once you have the fundamentals in place.

Our Level 1 courses take place at Norse Cove, where the sea provides the perfect setting for learning and discovery.
