Family Paddling

Great paddling experiences on the river.  Have a family adventure to remember. 

Our introductory taster sessions are great fun for all the family. Learn new skills with family and friends.

Family paddling sessions and bespoke paddling experiences

We run taster sessions in Kayaks and Canoes which are short paddling sessions which we have specifically developed  as a family experience enabling you to enjoy paddling together. This unique experience can be made up with boats suited to families with younger and older children where we are able to guide and instruct you in boats suited to your individual requirements. We cn combine this paddle with kayaks for older paddlers, canoes for an adult and younger paddler or just a lesson on a stretch of water which will allow kids to develop confidence on there own for the first time in a boat-  and bespoke paddling sessions can be booked as a lesson tailored to your needs.

Family sessions are a great introduction to paddling  for the whole family to get together. We bring all the equipment to the river for you to have an enjoyable adventure with your family and friends.

Sessions are for two and a half hours on a Saturday from 9:30 – 12:00 and other times on request.

Families can enjoy paddling together with kids.

We have  equipment for young paddlers from 4-9 years old who can join in with paddling activities with their family in our canoes.

Older paddlers over 9 enjoy the freedom that our kayaks offer,  as they are easy to paddle and pretty stable to use.

Our boats also benefit from having a deployable skeg which keeps paddlers heading in the right direction when learning paddling techniques and ideal for first time paddlers.
