We can reach and travel through areas that no one else sees and in doing so have unique wildlife encounters. Paddling is environmentally friendly; canoeists leave no trace in the air, no trace on the water and only footprints on the land. Canoeing is good for the soul, it fosters self-esteem, builds team work, is a great way to meet other people and is as relaxing or exciting as YOU want to make it! Anyone can paddle; we have canoed with people in their 80’s and children as young as 18 months. For health and fitness paddling is a great way to gain fitness, loose weight and build core stability and strength. We have found that a weeks paddle touring will dramatically increase fitness and weight loss. In fact we think canoeing is brilliant! So come and join us on our PADDLE DAYS.
