Important information

When should I reserve?

Reservations for weekends and vacations should be made 1 to 2 weeks in advance. For any other time, reservations should be made a few days in advance.

For canoeing is the river calm?

Yes. The section of the river you are going to descend is calm.

Can I do the self-guided canoeing if it is my first time?

We don’t recommend it if you haven’t paddled a canoe before. Canoes require technique to manoeuvre. You can try our kayaking or paddleboard activity.

How is this canoeing activity different from the others?

There are several canot/ kayak / paddleboard activities offered in the area, see our comparison table.
