Canoeing

Canoeing is making Olympic Legacy Waves, to find out more Click here

Canoeing offers "something for everyone!" Waterways are the arteries of our island nation.

We are never far from an inspiring canoe/kayak experience whether it is for competition or recreation. Therefore it is no wonder that canoeing is an attractive, healthy activity that young people get excited about for life.

Go Canoeing is now live!

The aim of the Go Canoeing initiative is to open up the sport to new participants and encourage those with some canoeing experience to take to the water more regularly and become more active in the sport. The project will involve four main elements:

  • Starter sessions
  • Guided tours
  • Canoe trails
  • Events
