About
-
Take all the fun of the 90 minute taster session and add more! That's the recipe for the Half Day white water kayak session.
-
Using our White water Sit on top Kayaks, means you have none of the hassles of falling in. You just flip them over and climb back on.
-
The session will be based on the River Dee, right next to our centre here in Llangollen, so you get maximum time on the water, learning new skills and running rapids.
-
All kit, and instruction is included, all you need to do is bring a towel, old trainers and swimwear for under a wetsuit.
Please note: In the interest of your safety, if unforeseen circumstances such as adverse weather conditions/river levels permit, TNR reserve the right to cancel any session. If this were to happen, we will offer an alternative session for your booked time slot, or the opportunity to re-book the same session at a later date.
