About the experience
The River Wye is a beautiful setting for a Half Day of Kayaking. Learn the basics of the watersport from experienced and qualified BCU instructors. After being welcomed, briefed and given all your kit, it will be time to get on the water. Your session will last around 2-3 hours. During the half day you will get a hang of the basics like balancing and steering. The session is suitable for all abilities, a lot of beginners aren't comfortable taking part in the capsize drill and you don't have to with this session. By the end of session you will be confident to put your new skills to the test on the water and enjoy taking part in some games on the river while enjoying the fantastic views in the Brecon Beacons.
