About the Tour

An evening paddle as the sun goes down

Experience Chichester Harbour at the most magical time of day. This relaxed evening paddle is the perfect way to wind down - surrounded by tranquil waters, spectacular skies and the kind of light that makes everything look extraordinary.

Our most atmospheric tour and one that sells out fast. The harbour takes on a completely different character at sunset and you'll see it from a perspective that very few people ever get to enjoy.

The Experience

When the harbour turns golden

We time the launch so that you're on the water as the light starts to change. The first twenty minutes feel like a normal paddle - relaxing in its own right, but then, gradually, everything starts to turn gold.

The sun drops towards the treeline and the water becomes a mirror. The sky shifts through an array of glorious colours somewhere between amber, rose and the inside of a seashell. The group goes quiet without anyone suggesting it. There are moments on this tour where the only sound is the drip of water off a paddle blade and that silence feels like a gift.

If the timing is right, we'll be out near the harbour mouth as the sun reaches the horizon. The light at this point is absurdly beautiful, photo perfect - no filter needed and reflected in the water all around your kayak. We paddle back in the last of the light, often spotting bats skimming the water as dusk settles in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time does the tour start?

Start times vary throughout the season to catch the best light. We typically launch 1-2 hours before sunset. Exact times are confirmed when you book.

What if the sunset isn't good?

We monitor conditions and will contact you if the forecast suggests poor visibility. Even on cloudy evenings, the light on the water can be beautiful — but we want the best experience for you.

Is it cold?

Evenings on the water cool down quickly, especially after sunset. Bring a warm layer for the paddle back. We'll advise on what to wear when you book.

Can I take photos?

Definitely — a waterproof phone case is essential. The light during sunset is extraordinary and you'll want to capture it.
