The UK has some of the most beautiful inland and coastal waters in the world, some of which can only be explored from the water.

One of the best ways to see it is in a kayak or canoe, peacefully paddling into coastal caves or along gentle rivers taking in the scenery and wildlife around you.

This site is designed to help you start canoeing and kayaking, the equipment you will need, where you can go kayaking and the clubs, coaches, centres and guides who can help you enjoy your time on the water.

We hope to see you on the water soon!
