Canoeing

North Devon lends itself to all types of canoeing to suit all abilities. You have the option of surf canoeing from the beaches of Saunton, Croyde or Woolacombe or sea canoeing in the more sheltered coves of Lee Bay and Ilfracombe. Alternatively, you could try a more gentle paddle in the estuary around Crow Point or river canoeing on the Taw and Torridge with a variety of runs from gentle to white water rapids depending on the location.

A typical canoe trip would consist of the following:

You will paddle the most scenic stretches of the North Devon estuary, from placid water to turbulent rapids.
Your instructor will brief you on canoe control, and safety procedures.
You will be taught flat water skills and moving water techniques, all combined with a lot of fun and games!
Instructors have been approved by the British Canoe Union offering a high quality of instruction.
You can train towards your star awards - a national award system accredited by the British Canoe Union
