Why buy from us?
Looking for an exciting and memorable experience in the Peak District? Look no further than kayaking along the Derwent River! Whether you're seeking a thrilling rapids adventure or a relaxing tour, you'll be treated to breathtaking scenery throughout your journey.
The Derwent River is sourced from the picturesque hills of the Peak District and flows through charming towns such as Bakewell, Matlock, Belper, and Derby before joining the River Trent. With its stunning scenery, kayaking along the Derwent River is an experience you'll never forget.
At the kayaking centre, you'll find a range of inflatable solo and tandem kayaks that are stable and easy to manoeuvre. This makes them perfect for beginners who don't need any prior experience to enjoy a day out on the river. But if you're an experienced kayaker, don't worry—there's still plenty to keep you entertained, especially during the rapids session.
The husband and wife team that runs the kayaking centre are exceptional guides who will make sure you have a fantastic time. They'll encourage you to get wet (but only if you want to) and even let you float alongside the kayak for a quick dip if you're feeling adventurous.
As you paddle along, keep an eye out for the local wildlife, including mallards, moorhens, wagtails, and kingfishers. These wonderful creatures have all been spotted along the kayaking route, adding to the excitement and enjoyment of the experience.
