Assist with navigation; forage and fish for your meals; visit special places that can only be accessed by sea and creek.
These aspects of our explorations mean you can profoundly connect with the landscape, its tidal rhythms and its diverse natural inhabitants in a way that wouldn’t ordinarily be possible.
• Traditional sailing and rowing
• Wild swimming
• Foraging and preparing coastal food
• Navigation (map, compass and celestial)
• Fitness
• Coastal field craft (spear, crab and line fishing)

Adventurous, physically and mentally challenging!
