  • A mini adventure on water
  • Power yourself across the water in a one-person kayak
  • Unique views of some of Britain's most spectacular scenery
  • Safety briefing, equipment and expert tuition included
  • Beginners welcome - just bring a sense of fun and a willingness to get wet!

If you fancy doing something a bit more adventurous on your day off than just washing the car, and you don't mind getting a bit wet (although in fairness that can happen washing the car), then give kayaking a try. It's fun, it's active, and it's also a great way to see some of Britain's loveliest countryside. Your experience begins with a safety briefing and an outline of basic handling techniques from your expert instructor. Then go out onto the water in your one-person kayak. You'll be shown a variety of skills used by the experts and you'll quickly get the hang of handling your boat. Kayaking is great fun and can't be beaten for the sheer pleasure of powering yourself silently across the water. The stunning scenery of Wales makes a perfect backdrop to a sea kayaking adventure. Or choose the splendour of going out onto a Scottish loch. Alternatively you can kayak in the middle of England. Wherever you choose, all venues suit beginners and those wanting to brush up on their skills.

Locations:

St. David's, Pembrokeshire; Leamington Spa, Warwickshire
