A KataKanu is a cross between Canoeing and Bell Boating. Paddle a twin hulled canoe, large enough for 6 people. This easy to paddle, very stable craft allows you to play about and have loads of fun on the river.
You can either choose to go for a trip along the River Soar, play a variety of paddle games with the Instructor, get up and try your balance on the boat, have a splash and get wet or even try a bit of canoe racing with one of our qualified Instructors.
We have 2 boats available and these are ideal for people of all abilities. A hoist is also available on request.

Typical session structure
The session will start with an introduction to the session laying out what is to be expected, including an health and safety brief. Participants will then be given some coaching points that will aid their knowledge for the activity. We aim to get on the water as soon as possible.
What to wear
Good weather - light weight clothing and shoes (trainers or wet suit shoes – not wellies or hiking boots). Remember sun cream and a hat when it’s sunny. Poor weather – a number of layers of clothing with, if possible, a windproof jacket and fleece.
In case that you get wet bring a change of footwear, spare clothes and shower kit including towel.
