Kayaking and Activity

Our Canoeing/Kayaking holiday in Dorodgne, and our activity weeks in Annecy, Aveyron, Ardèche and the Austrian Lakes (p224) have been specially created with families in mind. Canoeing is relaxing, fun and easy to get the hang of. You don’t need any experience for canoeing – just to be able to swim at least 60 yards fully clothed - and before you set off, our staff show you how to handle your boat. The canoes carry two adults and up to two children. We supply waterproof containers for storing picnic things, etc., buoyancy aids and helmet for each party member. Lightweight, single person kayaks with open cockpits are also available if specified when booking, however these are only suitable for adults or children over 12. For people wanting to explore on stayput days, we can arrange for bikes to be available for you at every hotel.

Our activity weeks have been specially designed to appeal to families with teenage children, and include a range of activities - typically swimming, tennis, cycling, watersports - for you to try during your stay. In most places, we also provide circular walking/cycling route notes - see individual holiday pages for detailed information.
