THE GEAR

Everything you need is included

Paddles, a life jacket and waterproof containers are provided with the hire so you can focus on paddling rather than packing specialized kit.

THE FORMAT

Full‑day or multi‑day flexibility

Choose a single full‑day hire or keep a kayak or canoe for multiple days — the hire period runs from pickup until you return the vessel to the shop by closing on the final day.

THE FREEDOM

Self‑guided exploration at your own pace

The hire format is designed for independent paddlers who want to plan their own route and timetable while using supplied safety and storage kit. Note the firm return time on the last day.
