Canoeing

Canoeing lessons for only £45

‘Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats’ Water Rat (Wind in the Willows). 

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Come canoeing with us, bring your friends or bring your family. We will teach you new skills, play fun games or get you ready for your performance and leadership awards.

What’s involved?

Canoeing is a fun and exhilarating way to get out on the water and our expert tuition will provide you with great paddling techniques to make the most of your time in the boat. Our fleet of open canoes are perfect for getting you out exploring our local waterways, which is the best way to experience the fantastic nature and wildlife we are blessed with in South Wales.

Can I do it?

Canoeing is suitable for most people and can be adapted for all abilities. Our canoes offer a safe way to learn, whilst our modern wetsuits utilise the best materials to keep you in the water for longer.

We allow a bit of time for kitting up and getting to the venue and then we let you spend as little or as much time as you need exploring and learning new skills.

What do I need to bring?

  • Warm clothes
  • Old trainers
  • Waterproof top
  • Swimwear
  • Towel
  • Drink
  • Medications eg. sunscreen, asthma pump
  • Packed lunch (dependent on plans for the day)

We provide

  • All canoeing equipment
  • Wetsuits
  • All safety equipment

Can I have more than one lesson?

Yes, you could book a block of 4 lessons which will help to speed up your learning even more and start moving onto intermediate skills (the price per lesson drops to £30 when booking 4 lessons).
