Croyde, EX33 1NZ
Active Escape offers guided outdoor adventures on the North Devon coast with a focus on connecting people with the natural environment in a fun, safe and thoroughly memorable way. Based in the Croyde area, the team specialises in coasteering, sea kayaking and paddleboarding, with sessions designed to suit a wide range of abilities and group types, from complete beginners to more experienced adventurers looking for a new challenge.
The coasteering experiences are brilliantly led by instructors with deep knowledge of the local coastline and a genuine passion for sharing it. You will explore sections of the North Devon coast that most you never get to see, ducking through sea caves, jumping from rocky ledges and swimming between headlands while the Atlantic swells roll in around you. It is wild, immediate and completely absorbing, and the guides are skilled at calibrating the level of challenge to match every member of the group.
Sea kayaking with Active Escape takes you along stretches of coastline that reveal a completely different side of North Devon. Paddling past towering cliffs and through hidden coves, you get a perspective on the landscape that simply cannot be replicated from the shore. Sessions are suitable for beginners and no previous paddling experience is required, with a comprehensive briefing and plenty of support on the water throughout.
Paddleboarding sessions are offered on calmer days and in sheltered locations, making them a wonderful option for those who want to experience the water at a more relaxed pace. Standing high above the surface and gliding across clear, bright water with the drama of the Devon coast unfolding around you is an experience that genuinely stays with you.
All equipment is provided across every activity, and sessions can be tailored to suit specific groups or interests. Advance booking is recommended, particularly during the summer months when demand is high.
