Fowey Kayaking at the Active-8 Centre

If your Cornwall holidays fall during the summertime, you can try out the kayaking activity together with your family. The Active-8 Fowey Kayaking Centre is an hour's drive away from your comfortable Cornwall holiday cottages. Its location was chosen because Lerryn Creek and River Fowey are the best places where you can go kayaking. This activity requires that you are above 18 years old in order to go kayaking alone but those between 13 to 18 years old can participate in this activity provided they are accompanied by an adult using a double canoe. If this is your first time to try out kayaking, there are qualified instructors who will teach you the basics and go with you during your initial kayak trip. The tide as well as the weather plays a big part on whether you can go kayaking for the day or not so it is best to check if these elements are conducive for kayaking before you venture out to the activity centre. You can initially take the 2-hour kayaking trip and if you like it, you can then go on the 3 or 4-hour trips. Kayaking is an energizing and challenging activity as it requires a coordination of your mind and body to successfully reach your destination. At the same time, it is relaxing as you enjoy the beautiful scenery that you pass by.

Canadian Canoeing at the Fowey Active 8 Centre

The Fowey Active-8 Centre offers canoeing activities which your family might be interested in trying during your holidays. Canoeing is an activity that your family can do together.
