There’s a wonderful feeling of freedom in a canoe and it’s really interesting to see the landscape from a different viewpoint.

Open canoes are very stable and can be paddled either solo, in tandem or as a raft of two strapped together when they can easily hold 6 people. Rafts are particularly good for people who are nervous or less able.

Our coaching concentrates on easy to learn paddling skills so you quickly gain confidence. You'll only get wet if you really want to and decide to jump out of your canoe and then the buoyancy aid you will be wearing will keep you afloat.
