Some information about the activity

  • Please note that you have to be able to swim to participate in this activity.
  • The canals are generally shallow and not very wide, but you will need to be physically able to get yourself to the side in the event of a capsize.
  • On the day, please wear clothes suitable for moderate outdoor activity. People tend to stay mostly dry, other than a few paddle splashes.
  • You may wish to bring suncream, a hat, drinking water and splash-proof jackets or trousers.
  • You will be provided with a waterproof barrel for smaller valuables such as phones, cameras, and wallets, which can accompany you on the boats.
  • Please be aware that there are no showers or toilets on site.
