Kayaking sessions are tailor made to meet the groups exacting requirements.

  • Rolling clinics – perfect for those struggling to master the roll or learning it for the first time
  • Play boating skills – guided by experienced instructors passionate about helping refine tricks such as front loops and cartwheels
  • Confidence-building sessions – ideal for anyone wanting to try kayaking in a safe and reassuring setting
  • White water safety and skills development
