Carratraw Canoe / Kayak Courses

Our Personal Proficiency Courses will introduce you to the fun and excitement of paddling your own kayak. Our coaches will go through the basics stokes, advise you on clothing and safety equipment.

Our introductory courses cover skills from the level 1&2 skills awards in general purpose kayaks.

The courses are run at Carratraw Bridge on the edge of Lough Erne, lovely clean water on a secluded river making it an ideal location to enjoy the thrill of learning a new skill.
