With an excellent range of scenic lakes in the North East and
Northumberland, Once upon a Tyne is the ideal choice for kayaking for
both experienced and beginner paddlers.
Kayaking is a great way to experience the many scenic waterways in the
region. We can cater for a wide range of abilities from the raw beginner
to the more advanced kayaker wanting to improve on their strokes or
venture into white water or out to sea.
Our coaches have been involved in watersports for many years and have
the knowledge, experience and stamina to ensure you learn in a fun and
safe environment. Naturally, the appropriate national governing body
qualifications are maintained by each coach contracted by Once upon a
Tyne.
Kayaking is a full day’s activity. You are picked up directly from Once
upon a Tyne and enjoy a scenic drive into the country where you change
into the kit provided and your kayaking adventure begins. Most people's
biggest concern is performing a capsize drill… these days it's not
necessary. Be assured that modern kayaks are a lot more stable,
controllable and safer to exit than in the past. We provide you with a
packed lunch for that well-deserved break and you are returned to Once
upon a Tyne at the close of the day to spend the evening as you wish.
Courses can lead to British sport qualifications if this is what you are
after, but they also lead to loads of great fun, especially in a group.
Kayaking can also be combined with a same-day canoeing session so that
your group can experience a great taster session of both of these
popular water sports combined in one day.
