Paddlesports
Overview
Paddlesports is the catch-all for the lot: kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding and their many cousins. They share the same simple appeal, which is getting onto water under your own steam and reaching places you cannot on foot.
Each has its own character. Kayaks are nippy and versatile. Canoes are roomy and sociable, good for kit and for sharing. SUPs are the easy, breezy option. Plenty of people dabble in several before settling on a favourite, and there is no rush to choose.
The instructors on adventuro can introduce you to whichever takes your fancy, or help you try a few. Get the basic strokes sorted early and every one of them becomes more fun and less tiring.
