About

Kayaking

Book now to spend an afternoon exploring this hidden lake from the water! Where better to experience and enjoy kayaking for the first time than in the Lake District? Our instructors will coach you through all aspects of operating safely whilst journeying on open water. During your experience, we will provide you with the skills to prepare a boat, paddle efficiently, and play some games if you wish. We will meet in the Wasdale Valley and send you directions upon booking.

Minimum age:10

Canoeing

Our instructors will coach you through all aspects of operating safely whilst journeying on open water. During your experience, we will provide you with the skills to prepare a boat, paddle efficiently, and sail if conditions allow. Due to our location, we predominately use Wastwater - the deepest lake in England, which is a stunning, quiet and remote lake tucked away in the Western Lake District.

Minimum age: 5
Duration: Half Day or Full Day (Half day can be part of a multi-activity day)


West Lakes Adventure provides bespoke outdoor activities for individuals, couples, families, groups, schools, colleges, stag and hen parties as well as events for organisations. We tailor our outdoor activites to meet your needs, whether you are looking to run a half day programme, full day event, weekend or even full weeks.
