Learn to Kayak & Open Canoe

From a beginning almost as old as mankind, when the kayak or canoe was part of the process of survival, to the present day, when boundaries of exploration are being rolled back, canoeing is a sport rich in potential for young and old - the adventurous and the less adventurous.

Come and join us for a challenging and fun session. You will learn basic paddling techniques, teamwork and communication skills using a combination of games and instruction both on land and afloat.

After a safety briefing from our qualified instructors, you will get straight on to the water in our kayaks or open canoes.
