1. Covid-19 Safe

It's an accessible holiday activity on your own doorstep! It's something a little different to do with your friends, family or on your own. No previous experience is required.
3. Mood Boosting
It has been scientifically proven that you can boost your mood just by being outside and you’ll find an improvement in your physical and mental well-being. Paddling on water is a form of ‘moving-meditation’. Embracing the calming nature of the water and looking out on the world from a different perspective are all components of a typical paddle, which all play there part in boosting your mood and getting your endorphins flowing.
4. Community
There aren’t too many sports that provide the opportunity to meet other people (or paddle in solitude if you prefer…). Kayaking and paddle boarding are unique because it incorporates nature’s beautiful surroundings, great physical benefits, and it prevents the distraction of phones or tablet's in hand!

The UK is home to endless waterways, canals, rivers, lakes and beautiful coastline, so you really are spoilt for choice when it comes to exploring.
