High Tide Sea Kayak School

High Tide Sea Kayak School: Based in Switzerland – at home on the ocean.

 We are a team of professional sea kayakers, devoted to paddling and guiding on the seas of Europe. While being fully dedicated to adventure, as Switzerland’s National ISKGA Training Academy we always seek for the highest standard in quality and safety, and promote these values in the training of new paddlers and guides as well.

Being based in a landlocked county, obviously, we don’t run a static "centre" in Switzerland but are primarily nomadic, running course camps and expeditions on all seas of Europe.

Apart from all these camps, trips and expeditions, High Tide offers courses in Switzerland, including introductory and technical programmes, tide race training on our powerful Swiss rivers, or our famous "Greenland Summer Academy" rolling classes.
