Overview

Taken at the pace of the group, this is a unique way to see the best of the lakes. We might head up a gentle river, paddle through nesting birds, or go and jump off a jetty... no two sessions are the same!

What's Included

  • All the paddling equipment and wetsuits if required.

    What To Expect

    Please note, if you are more than 13 stone (80kg) or taller than 6 foot (1.82m), we strongly recommend canoeing as being more suitable for you.

    Having put on the buoyancy aids and kitted up in wet suits (if required) we will head out onto the beautiful Derwent Water (The 'Jewel' of the Lake District). Although every session is different depending on weather / group etc, we will explore some of this amazing lake, and learn new skills as we go.

    Nov 2021
    Q: Do I need kayaking experience or will you teach me?
    A:

    No experience is necessary! Beginners are welcome on all of our kayak tours. Most of our guests have never been in a sea kayak before. Anyone in average physical condition may join a kayak tour. If you can hike or bike, you can paddle our sea kayaks. You do not need any swimming skills either.

    The only prerequisite is a healthy spirit of curiosity and adventure.

    Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.

    Q: Will I get seasick on Kayak on Derwent Water?
