KAYAKING
If you’re looking to give kayaking a go or develop some skills to kickstart your paddlesport journey, then we are sure to have a kayak session suitable for you.
We have two beginner sessions available here at Black Mountain Adventure, our Kayak Taster (approx. 2 hours session) which is perfect for newbies who fancy giving it a go and seeing what it’s about or, for those who have had a go and got the bug, then our Introduction to Kayaking (approx. 5 hours) is the session for you. All sessions are run by our British Canoeing qualified instructors with emphasis placed on delivering a safe, enjoyable & fun experience through progressive learning and confidence building.
Kayaking is an exciting, competitive and recreational sport so, if you fancy giving it a go, get in touch today for your helping of fun and adventure!
