- Guided sections of the South West Coast Path
- Wildlife spotting with expert interpretation
- Stories and insight from your guide
- Time to take in the landscape, not rush through it

Led by Jenny, founder of Selkie Adventures
Jenny has spent over a decade as a marine wildlife guide with one of Cornwall's most respected wildlife operators. With degrees in Zoological Conservation and Tourism Management, and 15 years living on the North Cornwall coast, she brings deep local knowledge to every walk.
Selkie Adventures was started because Jenny loves the feeling of being out on the Cornish coast; the sun (or rain) on your face, the wind in your hair, the smell of gorse in the air, the sight of a curious seal popping up out of the water, the tingle of your skin from dipping in the sea. It really recharges you! These moments are that bit more enjoyable when shared, so Jenny created Selkie Adventures to bring these experience to others, without the intimidation of doing it alone.
Designed for women like you
Selkie Adventures is built for women who feel drawn to the coast but want the confidence to explore it.
These walks are perfect if you:
- Want to explore the coast but feel uncertain going alone
- Enjoy nature and wildlife
- Prefer small, friendly groups over large tours
- Are travelling solo to Cornwall
- Are curious about sea swimming but want support and safety
- Want gentle adventure, not intensity
Many women join Selkie Adventures solo. The small group size creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere so you won't feel out of place.
Safety is our priority. Every walk includes a full briefing on tides, weather, and sea conditions.
Swimming is always optional and never forced. Come for the walk; dip if it feels right. Body positivity is celebrated here
