Mary Jelliffe

Biography

Mary brings together a lifelong love of adventure, wild landscapes, and the water. After many years in the adventure travel industry, she led expeditions across Africa before discovering a deep connection to sea kayaking. Her experience has since taken her on overseas kayaking journeys to Norway, New Zealand, and, most recently, Antarctica.

Back in the UK, she enjoys passing on that same sense of exploration through kayaking and nature experiences along the dramatic coastline of Scotland and in her home county of Cornwall. Her background combines practical leadership with a strong educational foundation, including a B.Ed in Physical Education and English, a Masters Certificate in Neuro Linguistic Programming, and qualification as a British Canoeing Paddlesport Leader.

Mary is also an accomplished underwater photographer, bringing a trained eye for the natural world to everything she does.
