Kayaking Adventure - St Agnes

Take a stunning, immersive guided kayak adventure on the North coasts of Cornwall in tandem kayaks. This slow-paced experience allows you and a partner to disconnect from our busy schedules and become at one with nature.

Koru's North Coast kayak adventure from Trevaunance Cove, St Agnes is along a World Heritage Site, the St Agnes Coast, carved out during the Cornish Mining era. Colourful rocks - red and bright green, the oxidised metals kayaking through archways, caves and 'The Prison' all must be seen to be believed. Atlantic grey seals, sunfish, cormorants, razerbills, guillemots and basking sharks have all been spotted.
