ABOUT CANOEING

Open canoes are larger than paddleboards or kayaks with space and seating for people and maybe a small dog. It's an open water craft and is propelled by single blade paddles.

Our Canadian style open canoes are equipped with a seat at the front and one at the rear with a central bench that can accommodate 2 children. We recommend there should be (minimum) 2 people able to use a paddle per canoe.
