Woolacombe, EX34 7BQ
H2 Outdoor is Woolacombe’s go-to operator for anyone who wants to experience the North Devon coastline from the water in the most exhilarating way possible. Specialising in coasteering, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, the team offers guided adventures that take you to corners of this spectacular coastline that you simply cannot reach any other way, with qualified instructors leading the way every step of the route.
Coasteering is the flagship experience here and it is every bit as thrilling as it sounds. Kitted out in a wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet, you will scramble across wave-washed rocks, leap from sea cliffs into the churning Atlantic and swim through caves and gullies carved over millennia into the rugged North Devon headlands. It is one of those experiences that combines adrenaline with genuine natural wonder, and the guides from H2 Outdoor are outstanding at making sure everyone in the group feels both safe and challenged throughout.
Kayaking sessions explore the more sheltered sections of the coastline, paddling through sea caves, around headlands and into hidden coves that reveal themselves from the water in ways that are simply breathtaking. You do not need any previous kayaking experience to take part, as the instructors provide a thorough briefing before you set off and offer support and guidance throughout the session.
Stand-up paddleboarding offers a calmer but no less rewarding alternative, with sessions suited to beginners who want to find their balance and develop their technique in a relaxed, unhurried environment. The conditions around Woolacombe and the surrounding coast are ideal for SUP, particularly on calmer days when the sea takes on the quality of hammered glass.
H2 Outdoor operates year-round and runs sessions for groups and individuals alike, with tailored package available for stag and hen parties, corporate groups and family gatherings. Advance booking is essential for all sessions, and the team are happy to discuss tailored package for groups with specific requirements or particular interests.
