🧡 Top Tips for Paddling with Kids

New to canoeing or kayaking with kids? Here are a few simple tips to help you have a great time:

Keep it simple – Our Kinver route is perfect for a first paddle: flat, calm and easy to navigate.
Dress for splashes – Quick-dry clothes, old trainers or sandals, and a change of clothes just in case.
Snacks are magic – Pack a few favourites to keep energy (and moods!) high.
Let them help – Kids love to paddle and feel involved. We’ve got smaller paddles just for them.
Make it fun – Spot ducks, count bridges, sing songs. It’s about the journey, not just the destination!
Don’t worry – Our friendly team will give you a safety briefing and all the kit, so you’ll feel confident before you even set off.
