Canoeing & Kayaking

These activities take place on our large lake and are run by BCU level 2 qualified coaches.  Whether you are after fun and games, a coaching session, or some team activities, we can cater for all as all sessions can be adapted to suit your specific requirements.

Canoeing

Canoeing sessions use our 2 person 14 foot ranger canoes and can be ideal for those who are looking for additional stability, as these boats offer you the opportunity to experience being out on the water using traditional canoeing techniques, with the added buoyancy which comes with the larger boats.

Kayaking

Kayaking sessions use our single person piranha master kayaks and allow individuals to explore their own competency levels.  Due to the nature of these boats it is possible that some individuals may get wet during these sessions, so kayaking is only available during March to October.

All safety equipment is provided for this activity.
