Canoe Craft Hire

1 hour hire of a Whitlingham Adventure Canoe

Booking is for 1x craft with a 2-3 person capacity. A Canoe is a craft that requires teamwork to paddle, where paddlers are pre-teens without previous paddling experience, it is advisable an adult accompanies them to be 'captain'.

A canoe is a lightweight, narrow and open topped boat. Canoes are very versatile and can be operated by two to three people. It is the ideal craft for those wishing to go canoeing for the first time or for parents to go paddling with younger children.

This is one of Whitlingham Adventure's dry paddlesport option as paddlers are set higher from water. However Whitlingham Adventure cannot control paddlers splashing each other or not taking care when entering/exiting the boat.
A 'just in case' change of clothes is advised for all participants. 

When checking in with staff everyone will be provided with centre buoyancy aids, receive a simple safety briefing and if required a introduction to craft and basic paddling. 

• Safety and rescue craft are on standby to assist those who may get into difficulty
• Craft hire area may vary day to day depending on conditions, safety cover and other activities on the water.
• Under 16s must be supervised by a nearby adult (it is advisable under 12s are accompanied on the activity) 
• Please be aware that Canoeing can be a wet sport and it is very likely at least your lower body will get damp or wet from paddling and splashing. A change of clothes to go home in (including footwear) is advised.
• Changing rooms are available if required after session. But please arrive ready to go at session start.

Please contact the centre for further information - if you have a larger group  / dates or craft you require are not listed on calendar
