Completed the introduction course over six weeks and loved every minute of it. Superb setting and instructor. Learned lots and had great fun doing so.Looking forward to continuing the journey and I know the Canoe Centre is the right place to do so.

Ronan Holmes - Google Review

As a complete beginner and new to water sports, I recently completed a six-week Introduction to Kayaking course at the Canoe Centre, and it was an amazing experience. From the very start, the centre felt welcoming and safe, which helped ease any nerves I had. The instructor, Keith, was knowledgeable, patient and supportive, always explaining and demonstrating techniques clearly and encouraging everyone along the way.
