Testimonials

Went for the half day kayak tour at Brockhole that I found on TripAdvisor. Mike is a fantastic guide. I was just expecting a paddle round, however Mike gave us quality instruction as we made our way along Lake Windermere. I’d definitely recommend his tours, he is clearly exceedingly professional and passionate about what he does. You’ll enjoy yourself and learn something along the way!

I had the pleasure of meeting and kayaking with Mike in mid April on Lake Windermere. It was a great a morning for a tour up to Ambleside and back, Mike is very knowledgeable and taught me some key skills that were really useful!
Recommended for beginners to the experienced. Hope to get back up the Lakes and try out Ullswater with Mike 🙂

We had an excellent experience on the water. Tuition was tailored to each individual in the group and our guides enthusiasm for the area and sport was genuine and infectious.
