Open Canoe Wilderness and River Trips

Paddlesport Holidays & Wilderness Trips

The canoe is the craft that has been used by generations to travel across vast tracts of wilderness. Its ability to carry you and a huge amount of gear is something that we utilise on this course. Firstly, your guide will show you how to pack your boat, looking at trim and lashing styles, then we will be off - seeing amazing views, getting close to nature, and learning new skills. Upon landing you will see and learn new and different ways to set up camp, and to cook on an open fire. We will demonstrate methods of fire-lighting by friction, and you will, of course, get to try this art form for yourself! Two-day or five-day options available.
Open Canoe Journeying (5 Days)

The open canoe is one of the best forms of transport available to go for a journey in, mainly due to its versatility. You get close to nature, even closer to the best views in the world, and get to travel at your own pace. This the trip thats about the journey and the camping not just about the skills.

Course Description


Most people who want to learn to canoe often remark that they wish it was warmer. Warmer weather and warmer water.  We totally understand this - for some people, the thrill of getting cold and wet is just not part of the fun!

If you are one of those people, or if you just fancy a lovely holiday learning to canoe or kayak, then this is the holiday for you. Based in the glorious Ardeche region of the South of France, where the weather is warm (in fact you could call it hot), and the water is a lovely temperature that makes falling in a pleasant pastime - not that we expect you to fall in often!
