When we think about it, what epitomises Torbay is the view from the sea. We are overwhelmed by
the sheer beauty and grandeur of the beautiful place we live in – and the geological history of what
makes Torbay the stupendous coastal adventure playground that it is. It’s something rarely seen by
the average visitor, of course, but it’s getting up close and personal to the multitude of rocks, coves,
caves and inlets making up the 20 miles and 22 beaches of Torbay’s coastline that brings it all to life.
This is the foundation on which SKT is built: the sheer amazement at what Torbay’s coastline has to
offer, our wish is to share with everyone the excitement we feel every time we go out.

Using luxury sea touring kayaks as a vehicle we are able to glide around the Riviera and access sea
cave, caverns and secret coves. We are a unique, adventure tour operator launching from any beach
within the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark. Our tours are for; solo travellers, couples,
families, friends or peers. Meet like-minded people in one of our small group tours or book your own
bespoke experience.

Our tours gained national attention in 2018, our first year of operation and we were awarded as 1 of
the top 20 Water Sports providers in the UK and regionally for Tourism Experience in South Devon.
Tours are guided by local expert Kieran Laureston who is passionate about delivering a truly
memorable experience, he has been taming the sea for beginners for many years and paddling and
sailing these shores since he was a Sea Scout.

There are 5 very distinct tour options for you; from the headlands we are likely to find Cetaceans, to
the Sea Horses and Seals of the backwaters and the Herons and Horses of our estuaries, there is
something for everyone. We will visit local nature reserves and paddle around the islands, stop on
secluded beaches tucked into secret coves, each with its own famous crime scene according to
Agatha Christie. Pick your beach, or let us advise, pack your lunch, or we can catch it as we go. We
can cook anything we catch on hot-stones and finish of with some toasted marshmallows.

Our inshore Mackerel fishing trips run daily from the three Torbay ports* during the Mackerel season. Join us aboard our boats ‘Funfish 1’ or ‘Sea Spray III’ for a sea fishing trip to remember.

Our experienced captain will show you the ropes and will share with you his extensive fishing knowledge and life experience.

You will likely leave with as many fresh fish as you need, to take home, cook and enjoy; not to mention a giant smile on your face and a memory that will last a lifetime.

What does this fishing trip entail?

We will whisk you away on a 2 hour fishing trip from Brixham (one of the top earning fishing boat harbours in the UK), or Torquay to some of our prime fishing locations. On arrival the engine’s switched off and the rods are dealt out! We supply all of our quality fishing equipment for free so that all you have to worry about supplying, is yourself.

On your visit you'll go back to a time when the cave was home to ancient humans, sheltering from extreme weather, making fires, shaping tools and hunting Ice Age animals. As you walk through the extensive labyrinth of caverns, you'll be surrounded by 400 million year old rocks and spectacular stalagmites and stalactites.

Our entertaining cave guides tell the story of a 15 year long Victorian Excavation which uncovered some of Britain's most ancient secrets… All tours around the cave are guided and begin in the Vestibule Chamber, as you enter the cave you'll feel the temperature at a constant 14c. Your tour guide will lead you through the Long Arcade to reveal how the caves were formed 2.5 million years ago and how stalagmite floors formed, sealing in the evidence of Ice Age occupations. Down in the Rockies you'll see stalagmites and stalactites decorating this pretty chamber. Return through Clinnicks Gallery into the Cave of Inscriptions and the Labyrinth to see examples of the earliest tools ever found in Britain, along with bones and teeth of ancient Ice Age animals. Into the Bears Den to experience the famous Kents Cavern blackout, a favourite since the 1930s. Head down the Water Gallery and up to the Great Chamber with its exhibition dedicated to the Stone Age and Victorian excavators... Make sure you check the tour times page to plan your visit to Kents Cavern.

Immerse yourself in a genuine experience of the past. From the cobbled floor to the original signs and shops brimming with products, there's so much to see at the General Store, Sweet Shop, Lace shop, Blacksmith, Haberdashery & Milliner, Post office, Apothecary, Toy Shop, Bakery, Jeweller, Ironmonger, Grocer, Dolls Store, HMV Shop, Pawnbroker and Pub. Above the Street, you'll discover even more of the Victorian age as you walk through themed rooms from Nursery, Bedroom, Bathroom, Kitchen and Parlour. You can even visit the Victorian dentist and see a prison cell from the past.

Time your trip with the tides so that you can enjoy the walk across the sands to Burgh Island, or you can take the tractor across if the tide is in. Plenty of parking and a great little cafe – what more can you ask for?
