Beginner Kayaking Sessions Offer Safe and Relaxed Introduction to Water Sports
A beginner kayaking programme is offering participants a safe and supportive introduction to paddling in a calm, sheltered canal basin. Designed for first-time kayakers, the sessions focus on building confidence while allowing learners to enjoy a relaxed experience on the water.
Under the guidance of supportive instructors, participants are introduced to the basics of kayaking, including paddling, turning and stopping. The controlled environment allows skills to be developed gradually at a comfortable pace, with an emphasis on safety and enjoyment throughout.
The sessions also incorporate light games and simple challenges to make learning more engaging. These activities help reinforce water awareness and basic safety knowledge while encouraging teamwork, confidence and enjoyment on the water.
Suitable for families, young participants and beginners of all ages, the experience is designed to be inclusive and accessible. Even non-swimmers can take part comfortably thanks to the calm water conditions, making it an ideal introduction to outdoor water-based activities.

Customer Reviews
For years, the canoe centre has been my go-to supplier for all things kayaking, providing the essential gear for both my personal adventures and for the youth organisation I work for. I've bought everything from "tip to toe," and the level of service has never wavered. The staff are phenomenal first dealing with Shane & Ciaran to the last couple of years with Hugh they have consistently offered knowledgeable and supportive assistance. The online shop is very user-friendly, stocking strong, quality brands that focus on depth of quality. A recent experience highlights their exceptional commitment: When a package went missing after posting, the team at the canoe centre put my needs foremost and promptly dispatched a second package before the original was relocated by An Post. This kind of proactive, customer-first service is why I continue to go back. No matter the size of the purchase, I always feel valued and acknowledged. An absolutely stellar sales and support service. Highly recommended.
Fantastic Level 2 Kayaking Course with Keith! Keith was amazing — patient, knowledgeable, and knew exactly when to push us (and when not to!). We (Carmel and Sarah) were the two oldest in the group, with one of us new to kayaking, but he made it fun, supportive, and full of laughs. The group was an added bonus — we’re now all on WhatsApp calling ourselves The Liffey Lickers! Can’t wait for our next river trip with Keith to build on everything we learned.
The courses here are brilliant. Educational and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend them as they really boosted my confidence and skills. The coach, Keith, has a lovely manner that takes away any fear or apprehension. The shop itself ships out equipment fast and efficiently and advises about same over the phone without hesitation.
