Whether you’re new to the sport or an experienced water user, there will always be a nearby canoeing or kayaking quest waiting for you in the British countryside. So now the sun is shining and the schools are out, it’s the perfect time to hit the water and create some epic new memories.

Family Fun
Getting afloat is an excellent way for the whole family to spend time together in the great outdoors.

Go Canoeing Starter Sessions give everyone the chance to gain their water confidence and with no need for previous experience it’s just a case of turning up and enjoying yourself.

To see even more of Britain’s beautiful waterways join a Guided Tour or take to the water alone on one of Go Canoeing's Canoe Trails.

Glide through glistening waterways, surrounded by lush vegetation and curious wildlife, whilst your experienced guide imparts a wealth of knowledge on the local area and how to get the best out of your paddle and boat.

Absolute beginners can take part and all equipment is provided. You can also choose your boat; from going it alone in a one-person kayak to relishing the family experience together in one larger boat.

Hone your Skills
Whether you are passionate about paddling, looking to expand your horizons or simply enjoy your paddling, this summer could be the perfect time to seek some help and guidance from a British Canoeing coach. There are a number of training programmes and skills based courses available or if you want to take your canoeing further you could even work towards a coaching qualification yourself.
