Aqueduct Intro to Kayaking for beginners

This session will be based on Llangollen canal, after getting changed and sorting logistics your coach will introduce you to the essential skills needed in learning how to kayak. From here we will add a journey over the world Heritage Poncysyllte Aqueduct.

The session will be tailored to your needs and wants in a fun and safe way.

This is a great activity to fit into a busy few days in North Wales for families, groups of friends or individuals.

Our Kayaks are wastewater-specific sit-inside designs. This session would be a great starter session and may inspire you to come back and try our Discover Whitewater Kayaking session. This type of kayak is designed to turn easily and a challenge to learn how to go in a straight line. Your coach will be at hand to help you progress.

More Information

All safety and paddling equipment is included. In warm weather, it may be more conformable to wear your own clothing rather than a wetsuit and cag so please bring clothes to get wet in and a change of clothes for afterwards.

Going round in circles

Our kayaks are general purpose/river-style kayaks- very manoeuvrable boats. They tend to be more suited for getting to grips with how to handle the fundamental skills of kayaking.

Afternoon paddle boarding doing the Chirk aqueduct and the tunnel . Amazing experience. Andy was a Brilliant coach, funny and very patient . Only second time paddling boarding so not experienced but the tips we picked up helped massively. Even got 10 minutes at the end of the session where we all got wet. Would highly recommend.
