With favourable conditions, we plan to explore Puffin Island, The Stacks, Rhoscolyn, Penrhyn Mawr, Menai Straits, and various sections of the North Coast. If suitable for the group's skills, we may also kayak out to the Skerries.
Kayaking in Anglesey is truly spectacular, not only for its breathtaking scenery but also for its remarkable wildlife. This region serves as a vital breeding ground for many different types of seabirds, including puffins, gannets, and artic terns, making it an incredibly special place to paddle.
As well as having a thriving birdlife, Anglesey is also home to seal colonies and enjoys regular visits from porpoise, Bottled Nosed and Risso's dolphins.

We will be initially meeting at our Kayak Centre in Holyhead. Here we will get kayaks and kayaking equipment sorted for the week.
