School and Outdoor Ed Programs
Over the last few years there has been a steady increase in the number of schools who are offering canoe and kayak programs as part of their Outdoor Education Programs, or as extra-curricular activities. However, many schools find it impossible to access qualified and high quality instruction, due to the high costs. We offer programs, tailor-made to suit and to your budget. We have over 50 years experience in all types of canoe and kayak education, including elite sport coaching. Now encompassing AFK (Andrew Farrance Kayaking) we can offer even more to your school.
Canoes Plus also run more than Just Canoe and Kayak based programs !!! We can organize anything from day based excursions to journey based programs encompassing hiking, biking, climbing and more. All with qualified instructors and guides.

We can tailor make anything to suit your specific needs, whether it be Kayaking, Canoeing, Rafting, Hiking, Mountain Biking or a combination, all with qualified Guides. We have more than 30 years’ experience. Talk to us to plan your personalized Outdoor Programs.
