Have you ever been canoeing? Would you like to try a canoeing holiday in order to grasp the sport quickly? The one-week canoeing course available at Dartmoor Outdoor Company Canoeing is the perfect opportunity to learn something new or build upon the little experience that you may already have.

It is an invigorating experience, which is practical as well as lots of fun! You will learn the basic paddle strokes including the infamous ´J´ stroke, which enables you to move silently through the water whilst observing the wildlife around you.

Each evening we will return to Tamar Valley Lodge situated in a quiet holiday village. It is the perfect place to recharge your batteries and relax. It has a wide range of facilities, ensuring that you will never be bored.

Our one-week course is designed to leave you feeling invigorated and keen to carry-on kayaking on a regular basis. It is a week of escapism and will get you up close and personal with the great outdoors.
