EVER FANCIED KAYAKING BUT DIDN’T WANT TO THROW YOURSELF IN AT THE DEEP END? YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!
Our kayak experience on the River Ure at Boroughbridge is tailored for diverse individuals:
• Complete Beginners: Ideal for those who have never tried kayaking and are looking for a ‘have a go experience.’
• Recreation Seekers: Perfect for individuals seeking a fun few hours with like-minded people, exploring something a little different.
• Families: A great option for families in search of a fun and exciting day, creating memorable experiences together.
At our Boroughbridge office which is positioned on the River Ure’s edge; we have facilities which include ample parking, toilets, showers, and a secure space to store your valuables while you embark on the kayaking experience.
Once fully equipped and prepared for kayaking, our friendly staff members will outline the session’s rough itinerary and provide an overview of what to expect. Before hitting the water, they’ll offer land-based instruction, covering the basics to ensure you feel confident and ready.
Throughout the session, we’ll guide you on a journey up and down the river, allowing ample opportunities to practice manoeuvring the kayak. Towards the end, optional challenges and team games will be introduced, operating on a “challenge by choice” basis to cater to individual preferences.
To capture the moments and make the experience more memorable, our team will take photos throughout the kayaking adventure. These photos will be happily shared with you at the end of the session, providing lasting memories of the enjoyable kayak journey on the River Ure.
