Kayaking can be a great way to get the family on the water and it doesn’t have to be something to fear.

Using sheltered water and a mix of solo and tandem kayaks, this introduction to kayaking is suitable for families who would like to get their children on the water and are happy to join them for support either ‘in the same boat’ or paddling alongside.

I will be using a calm loch or local harbour where there is plenty scope to play around and learn skills before making a short journey. The focus will be on having fun while learning and working together as a family. If we have to travel a wee bit to get to the best spot transport may be a possibility.

There will be two instructors on this session allowing more people to take part as a group with time on and off the water.

Children must be between 8 and 18 with one adult for every two attending.

This session is aimed at families who could not normally access this type of activity.

If the session is oversubscribed there will be a waiting list for a future date or cancellation
