Sunrise or Sunset London Kayaking Tour for Two
If you fancy doing something adventurous and don’t mind getting a bit wet, give kayaking a try. It’s fun, active, and an intimate way to get acquainted with one of our capital city’s loveliest canals. From leafy Regents Park, begin with a safety briefing and an outline of basic handling techniques from your expert instructor. Then go out onto the water where you’ll be shown a variety of skills used by the experts to quickly get the hang of your boat. When will you choose to go? At sunrise to greet a new day, or watching the sun go down at the end of the day. Kayaking is great fun and can’t be beaten for the sheer pleasure of powering silently across the water. The scenery around you makes a perfect backdrop and is really quite relaxing. Kayaking suits beginners and the experienced, so whether you are entirely new to the sport, or stepping back into a boat which is familiar territory, we think you’ll love this very different day out.
