Kayak (or paddleboard) peacefully through hidden London on the Grand Union Canal - explore garden views and wildlife while mindfully unwinding in nature's tranquility for 1.5 hours.
WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT
If you love the water and are an independent spirit, then this experience is one for you. This is not a group activity. You’ll be on your own, stopping and drifting whenever the mood takes.
Paddling is a mindful and restful pursuit, and there is no better way to discover unexplored London than from the water on the Grand Union Canal.
Glance into back gardens and private spaces that you never knew existed, and can only be seen from the water. Watch the ducks as they dabble about, making nests and busying themselves on the banks.
TELL ME MORE
Your hire lasts for an hour and a half. You need to have some experience to hire the board - one session is enough, but don’t fret if you think you might struggle you can choose to take out a one person ‘sit-on’ Kayak instead. You don’t need any experience, and it’s just as much fun.
It’s nearly impossible to believe that you are right in the heart of London, as you set off on this private, very delightful mini adventure. Wind under willows, float past houseboats and take in all the greenery and wildlife that the canal has to offer.
This may be the first paddle stroke you have ever taken, but we guarantee it won’t be the last.
