Why choose a canoe trip for a group day out?
At Hire A Canoe, we offer group canoe trips for schools, corporate team-building events, and DofE (Duke of Edinburgh’s Award) expeditions. Paddle downstream with the flow of the river and set your own pace. Perfect for building confidence, teamwork, and leadership in an inspiring outdoor environment.
Our fleet of Canadian canoes can accommodate two or three paddlers, encouraging collaboration and communication on the water. Whether you’re planning an educational adventure, a team bonding day, or a qualifying DofE journey, our experienced team ensures a smooth and safe experience.
We pride ourselves on high-quality kit; cleaned, maintained, and regularly renewed, so your group enjoys reliable, comfortable equipment throughout the trip.
