Kayaking the Helford River
This 2 hour adventure with Koru Kayaking runs from April to October from our private cove. Heading towards Helford Passage, passing sailing boats and ancient oak forests which are designated as Atlantic Temperate Rainforest (a much rarer landscape than tropical rainforest). Paddle across the river to Frenchman's Creek, the inspiration for Daphne du Maurier's novel. The serene surroundings on calm waters are amazing with shipwrecks and secluded beaches. On sunny days there is an opportunity to swim in the soft waters of the creek, before paddling back to Budock Vean.
Safety First
Your guide will go through a detailed safety briefing and a health questionnaire. Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian and the guide will determine whether the sea conditions are suitable. Koru use Malibu 2XL Ocean Kayaks, which are sit-on kayaks. Buoyancy aids, and wetsuits are provided.
What should I bring?
Pizza evenings by the Helford at Budock Vean
High tides and warm summer nights are a match made in heaven for us here on the Helford.
During the summer we combine the two to cook up a series of special early evening gatherings down at our foreshore. You can explore the river on a boat trip, a SUP or kayak adventure then sit back with a drink and pizza as you watch the tide slowly drop. We have the fire lit and the beers chilled.
Thank you to everyone who made it to one of our Pizza evenings by the Helford. Keep your eyes peeled for 2025 dates!
