Course Overview

Starting on flatwater, we cover the foundation to Moving Water Canoeing or Kayaking before transitioning into current on the river. Putting it all together, the afternoon will see you run a Class I-II set of rapids. The perfect whitewater sampler getting you from zero to hero! This full day will give you a great introduction to the sport – but it’s only a teaser. It takes more time to progress in whitewater kayaking and canoeing, so we hope you will be back for a Weekend or 5 Day course!

Reviews

5 star ratingGreat experience for young or new rafters. We had an amazing white water experience with our two young daughters. Our guide Mel was so encouraging and fun in spite of the drizzle. Great interaction with our kids and would highly recommend this to families looking for their first rafting adventure.
