Canoeing and kayaking are both great ways to get into paddle sports. Whether you want to learn to paddle like a pro, or fancy a more laid-back affair that involves coursing along gentle waters on more of a sightseeing trail, a paddle in a canoe or an outing in a kayak is for you!
If you really don't like water or just can't see yourself using a paddle, these experiences might not be for you. But don't let lack of experience put you off, these canoe and kayak lessons are specifically aimed a beginners.
Yes you can canoe in London! The purpose-built Lee Valley Watersports Centre is easily accessible from central London and boasts great Olympic-standard facilities. You can also got for a relaxed paddle on the Thames in the Richmond area, even having an ogle at the wonderfully secluded Pie Island as you go!
In a canoe you sit down or kneel to paddle. That's to say your legs are bent at the knees as you either perch on a bench or a raised seat, or you're actually kneeling in the canoe. In most cases, the deck of a canoe is open and you use a paddle with one blade. In contrast, kayakers have their legs fully extended inside the closed deck of the kayak and the paddle has two blades.
To use a one-bladed canoe paddle you put one hand on the top of the handle and the other lower down the handle towards the blade end. You then reach forward with the shoulder and plunge the paddle vertically into the water, before pulling back for the stroke. When the immersed paddle blade reaches the level of your hips, you start to bring the blade out of the water, ready for the next stroke, which could be on the same side or the other side of the canoe.
Kayaks differ from canoes in that the paddle has a blade at each end, as opposed to just one blade on a canoe paddle. For kayaking, both hands (slightly wider than shoulder width apart), go on the handle (or shaft) of the paddle. To paddle a kayak you place one of the blades in the water at about the same level as your feet (remember legs are stretched out in a kayak), moving it back as vertically as you can through the water. As soon as you're level with your stomach, you bring the paddle out of the water and repeat the process for the blade in your other hand. The key here is a smooth rhythm.
This very much depends on the policy of each watersports centre. Some may advise against complete beginners trying kayaking or canoeing for the first time when they are or might be pregnant. If you've already done paddlesports and are out on calm waters you may be able to paddle. If in any doubt, just get in touch with us.
For kayaking and canoeing taster sessions all the gear will be provided for you. Some centres may charge for wetsuit and/or wetsuit boot hire. You should arrive with swimwear and towel as well as casual/sports clothes and a pair of trainers you don't mind getting wet.
Yes. If there's a man-made water sports centre near you, the chances are they will offer canoe and kayaking sessions. We have some excellent purpose-built watersport centres in the UK such as Holme Pierrepont National Watersports Centre in Nottingham and Lee Valley White Water Centre at Waltham Cross that hosted the 2012 Olympic canoe slalom events, to name just two bespoke watersports centres.
At certain times of the year, the rivers in the mountainous areas of Scotland and Wales can offer up some thrilling white waters to canoe or kayak down. Of course, sections to paddle down will be chosen according to ability, but paddlers can find pretty challenging conditions on the likes of the River Dee in Llangollen and River Wye in the Brecon Beacons, for example.
Each individual operator will have their own rules and regulations about the age limits for kayaking and canoeing with them. Some may require an adult to paddle out at the same time as the child. Please read the full details sections of the location you're interested in for all the info on requirements.
Canoe and kayak tours are designed to offer a calm and relaxed little outing, which is as much about the sightseeing as it is about the actual paddling. You might be going for a paddle past the fancy beachfront houses at Sandbanks, or cruising along a Scottish river with a stunning natural backdrop.
We've got canoeing and kayaking experiences at watersports centres, on rivers, lakes and canals throughout the country. Our current locations include:
