Canoeing & Kayaking in Scotland

Canoeing & Kayaking Lessons

Kayaking is a great fun way to enjoy the water. Kayaking involves sitting inside a closed cockpit boat and using a double ended paddle to control the boat.

We offer introductory kayaking sessions & intermediate kayak instruction on flat water.

We also run kayaking trips around Loch Oich and can also run introduction to moving water and white water instruction for the more advanced.

2 Hour Intro to Kayaking £30 pp

During this 2 hour session you will learn the basics of kayaking and have a fun introduction to this popular sport. Your instructor will be a qualified BCU level 2 coach or above and you will go through the following skills during your session:

• Introduction to equipment
• Entering & exiting the boat
• forward paddling
• backward paddling
• turning strokes
• dry land capsize drills (or wet if you are brave enough)
• Fun games to enhance your learning

Personal Kayak Coaching £200 per Instructor per day

We occasionally get asked for personal coaching or to put courses together and do this on an ad hoc basis by hiring you an instructor for the day to work on your own personal skills either on the loch or the river. The instructor to client ratios can vary depending on the type of activity being undertaken but 1 to 6 is normally achievable unless on white water.
