About This Adventure

Experience the thrill of whitewater kayaking with personalized lessons on the River Dee! Suitable for all skill levels, you'll learn essential techniques like rolling and surfing on grade 3 rapids. Enjoy expert guidance, all necessary equipment, and the chance to find the perfect kayak for your adventures.

Duration: 3 Hours

Our private lessons are the perfect way to help you progress in the sport of whitewater kayaking. Are you wanting to take your first steps in this incredible sport? Hoping to get confident in your new boat? Develop surf skills? Learn to roll? Learn to boof? Whatever your level, grab the chance for tuition with an expert instructor from Paddle the Dee.

We're able to provide all equipment necessary for these sessions at no extra cost. You will quickly find however that there is no boat like your own, and so would highly recommend paddlers source a kayak to learn in that fits you like a glove and will be the same every time! We partner with local kayak shops and are very happy to help you identify the best boat for your development.

Be sure to bring clothing that will keep you warm and comfortable on the river, plus a change of clothes and a towel! All of our activities require participants to wear closed-toe footwear throughout. It is essential that you bring a spare pair of shoes so that you can wear one on the river and the other on the way home.

Adventure Tips

Wear a wetsuit or splash gear

The River Dee’s spring water remains cool even in summer, so appropriate clothing will keep you comfortable during your lesson.

Bring a waterproof bag

Protect your essentials like phone and keys in a waterproof pouch or dry bag while on the river.

Arrive early for your lesson

Arriving 15 minutes ahead ensures time to get fitted with gear and receive safety briefing before hitting the rapids.

Check river conditions beforehand

Water levels can fluctuate; confirm with your instructor that conditions suit your skill level before booking.
