Kayaking

(Minimum age 13)

Kayaking uses boats originally designed by Eskimos for travelling on the sea. This in mind the boat is covered except for a hole around the waist. Our kayaks allow beginners to have some fun, learning skills on a lake and then maybe trying them out on a river in further sessions.

Wetsuits, buoyancy aids, spray decks, paddles and kayaks are provided unless you wish to learn in your own boat, in which case you are free to bring it along.

Kayak River Trips

If you already have some experience and would like to take it further then a river trip is the way forward. These are generally available in Autumn and Winter, but are possible in summer if there has been lots of rain. The rivers in the Lake District offer something for most levels and we can arrange accommodation to suit your taste and budget – just let us know what you are interested in.
