DISCOVER WHITE WATER CANOEING

Since humans began to live together in groups, the canoe has been an integral part of life for many civilizations. Canoes have spanned from 10,000 year old dugouts carved from trees with animal bone, to the highest tech contemporary canoes made of fibres infused together with high temperature epoxy resin.

Canoeing is a largely tranquil sport mixed with modern equipment and techniques and has a massively diverse appeal. Should you wish to move silently across a lake or estuary, enjoying close contact with mother nature, or bounce down some white water trying to fuel that adrenaline rush when you get to the bottom of some awesome rapids, you’ll have a fantastic time.

The open canoe is surprisingly versatile too. Once you have mastered your craft you’ll be able to enjoy the opportunities it provides including tranquil wilderness travel, family adventures, multi-day expeditions and even heart wrenching white water excitement.
