Kayaks are small single-person boats, that are paddled with a double-ended paddle. You’ll progress really quickly, but sometimes you might lose concentration and take an accidental early bath! If so don’t worry, because you’ll be accompanied by a qualified instructor, who will help you back in to your boat and give you lots of tips to help stay upright in your boat.
Pre-requisites
Kayaking is suitable for all from age 10 upwards. You’ll need to be water confident (able to swim 25 meters).
Course Duration & Cost
Standard prices are £75 per person per day or £45 per person for a half day. Discounted dates for solo-bookers are published through our online booking system and private group bookings are also available.
