Kayaking Taster
Session

Enjoy a Lake District Kayaking adventure on Windermere

The views of Wansfell, Loughrigg, Claife heights and Scandale horseshoe are always amazing, but you have not seen them in their full glory until you have seen them from the water in a kayak. No crowds of tourists, no sound of motors, just you, your paddle and that view! If any experience at Brockhole can lift the spirits and get the heart pumping at the same time – this is the one!

Our tours last a full half day (about 2.5hrs of paddling)

This is one of those life enhancing experiences that will not disappoint. Places are limited to 8 per session so please book early.
