The Best Places for Kayaking Holidays

Great Glen Canoe Coast to Coast Canoe in Scotland

Depending on how extreme you’re feeling you can either canoe/kayak for a couple of hours or take on the full challenge of paddling down the whole 100km of the spectacular Caledonian Canal. The route travels from Fort William to Inverness and comes across 29 locks, 4 aqueducts and 10 bridges. It’s a varied stretch of water travelling through calm and still canals all the way to rougher wide-open water sections such as Lock Locky, Loch Ness and Loch Oich. You can do this unsupported, if you have experience, plan sufficiently far ahead and have all the necessary equipment (including boats). Starting off in Fort William and travelling to Inverness is often the recommended route due to the normal prevailing winds. Completing the challenge over 4 days in open canoes is popular, although other routes and itineraries are available. Often with evenings broken up between camping, hostels and hotels, this is a great way to see a huge amount of Scotland. Explore more Kayaking Holidays in Scotland

Canoeing and Kayaking in Dorset, Old Harry Rocks and Poole harbour

For many enthusiasts, canoeing and kayaking in Dorset is a bucket list UK destination. Old Harry Rocks are three chalk formations that mark the most easterly point of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Jurassic Coast. Exploring this area by paddle offers the most incredible backdrop, many would assume could only be achieved by travelling across the world to more exotic countries. As well as exploring the stunning Jurassic Coast, formations like Durdle Door are a wonder to see. A must-do is kayaking through the middle of Durdle Door. Additionally, visiting Poole Harbour for a paddle is an excellent way to see the busy, vast port in a sheltered and relatively safe environment as a good portion of the water is waist height. There’s a wealth of wildlife to see and it’s easy to get involved with many kayak and canoe hire nearby. Explore more Canoeing and Kayaking in Dorset

Kayaking Holidays for Families and Kids

Canoeing and Kayaking are great family friendly sports. Canoes are more of the stable and spacious choice that allow for gentle and calm paddling experiences. Kayaking also offers the option for two-seaters that are a great way to bond with a friend or family member. Sea Kayaks and Touring Kayaks are incredibly stable, like Canoes, so it's more difficult to fall in or get wet. When it comes to the types of water to look out for, calmer water makes for a more enjoyable experience with kids. Look out for local lakes or canals for safer and more tranquil paddling. The beauty of canoeing and kayaking are that they are 'sit down' sports. The level of fitness required for both is relatively low, so most people can get involved with the sport.
