Canoe & Kayak Tours

Flat Water

Inland touring is a purely entertaining feature of canoeing and involves a journey or expedition in your boat.
Touring by canoe gives you the chance to slow down and take pleasure in the countryside. The real beauty of touring by canoe is that you can choose your own pace and relish each minute.

Touring is as enjoyable when you're on a solo adventure as it is with family and friends. You can grab a picnic and head out with no particular objective in mind or you can pack your camping gear and travel for numerous days or even weeks, surviving on what you're carrying in your boat. You only need basic paddling skills but the opportunity for satisfaction and adventure are endless.

White Water Kayaking

River running is the spine of recreational white water paddling - it involves following a river downstream in your canoe / kayak, negotiating any rapids you come across. You'll find rollercoaster wave trains, 'haystack' and 'stopper' waves and a vision of the countryside that you'll never see except by canoe / kayak.

'Creeking' is a more specialised type of paddling that searches out steeper, more committing rapids, usually on tight mountain streams that give bigger drops, harder rapids, tight rock gardens and waterfalls.

Open Canoeing Touring

An open canoe can take you on a passage of discovery down lowland rivers, on tranquil family lake trips or down the rapids of the best white water runs. Wherever you go, you'll be able to take to the water with the least effort and greatest enjoyment.

The canoes tend to be wide and secure, which makes them popular with outdoor centres and beginners as well as with less mobile paddlers and those who don't want to struggle into the tight restrictions of a kayak.
